+SELinux is a flexible Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system built into the
+Linux Kernel.  SELinux provides administrators with a comprehensive access
+control mechanism that enables greater access granularity over the existing
+Linux Discretionary Access Controls (DAC) and is present in many major Linux
+distributions.  This repository contains the sources for the SELinux utilities
+and system libraries which allow for the configuration and management of a
+SELinux-based system.

Probably should be *an* SELinux-based system.
