    As I understand it, JFS was originally written for AIX. The OS/2 team
    at IBM rewrote it from scratch for OS/2. Their version was cleaner, so
    *that* got ported to AIX. (Maybe 5L, not really sure on versions here.)
    The JFS for OS/2 is the predecessor to the Linux version.

    Where's the Unix IP infection come from?

    RCU - originally a paper, implemented in Dynix and in other operating
    systems from the paper (and patent), implemented in Linux as well.

    Oh, and disclaimers:

    IANAL, all knowledge gleaned from extensive reading, not personal
    experience. Feel free to flame me if I screwed something up. (And I
    apologize if I did so.)
