According to this JFS FAQ the JFS as we have it was a new implementation for OS/2, and the port for linux was made from a snapshot of the OS/2 implementation (From December 1999), and not from the version that made it into AIX 5L in May 2001.

It's not clear, however, whether the new implementation is completely new, or is derived from their original JFS1 that they had been included in AIX since 3.1. Either way, it's difficult to see how SCO can lay any claim to any of this - it all, apparently, being developed by IBM anyway.
