Groklaw: UnitedLinux White Paper Shows SCO Thought JFS Came From AIX

“I am getting a lot of email, telling me that a certain
UnitedLinux white paper that was on SCO’s website has been removed,
as of this afternoon. The paper reveals that SCO knew perfectly
well back in 2002 that JFS had been put into the Linux kernel by
IBM–it says it was taken from AIX–and that UnitedLinux
participants, including SCO, not only knew it, they advertised it
as a plus. Actually, it didn’t come from AIX. It came from OS/2,
according to this article from the time period. But the point is
that SCO has claimed it didn’t discover the high-end things like
JFS were in the kernel until later. The paper shows they had to
know, and further, they not only didn’t care, they thought it was
worth telling the world about.

“Groklaw reported that SCO knew JFS was in UnitedLinux, quoting
the whitepaper and providing a link, back in November of 2003 in an
article we did debunking SCO’s claims about the four main high-end
things SCO was squawking about at the time, here, and I linked to
that article twice in the last week or so in other articles. Today,
it was also in part posted to the Yahoo! SCOX Message Board at
12:30 PM. By 2:32 PM, the whitepaper had disappeared from SCO’s
website…”
