ICSF is an implementor of CCA, as are the APIs under Linux on System z. The teams that maintain the host libraries (both for z/OS and Linux on z) do work in parallel to maintain the CCA interface. Both have some implementation specific APIs (such as CSNBKRL for the Linux implementation or CSFIQF for ICSF), but they are maintained in parallel.
