We (SUSE) opensourced the user-level AppArmor http://www.opensuse.org/AppArmor tools in January 2006 http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/103 and http://lwn.net/Articles/166975/ and the kernel module has always been open source.
We have been hard at work on making the code as CodingStyle-compliant as we can since then, with the intent of submitting it for inclusion in the kernel. We actually planned to submit it later this week, but in light of this thread, we cut a few corners and expect to post our first proposed patches here by about Wednesday.
