The fact that SCO did not own JFS was a no-brainer. SCO's JFS is by
Veritas, not SCO. It is a very good JFS, BTW. I heard Veritas made a
Linux version as a product you can buy. We used VxFS in our on-the-road
systems for years and never once suffered a corruption. Even when the
power took a hike.

The next question is, will Veritas pick up the ball on this one?

Too bad really for IBM;  If SCO was a Canadian company
and had originally filed their lawsuit in Canada, 
as many Canadians know, the loser said lawsuit pays
