Isn't it for the NSA, but by Red Hat? May have my history mixed up.

I believe that the National Security Agency was the original developer, but that Red Hat is significant contributor.

NSA developed it and open-sourced it (much like their development of the crypto hash used for git), but Red Hat and the Linux kernel devs have pushed it the most since.
