I'm sorry to hear that. However, it sounds like you have some incorrect
or misleading data.

Fedora uses by default firewalld for managing firewalls. 
https://fedorahosted.org/firewalld/
firewalld is a GPLv2+ package mostly developed by some folks who work
for Red Hat. 

firewalld sits on top of the Linux kernels iptables stack. 
iptables is GPLv2 and devloped by many people all over the world. 
https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/

Perhaps you are thinking of selinux? It did have a substantial
contribution from the NSA, however, it's 100% open source and has been
looked over by many many many folks. 

Anyhow, hope that helps, 

kevin
