So it's even less restricted than the BSD licenses - you don't even
_have_ to provide attribution (though it's still nice to do so)?

Apologies for the misunderstanding - can't remember the last time I've
seen a licensing query involving public domain. SELinux is, of course,
public domain as well, though the possibility of it being forked is
probably quite remote.
