Nonesense. It has been stated a number of times that all 2.4 was affected.

" JFS is not there. RCU is not there. NUMA is not there. What's the point in posting this link
over and over again? It proves nothing."

Yup, no JFS or RCU.

NUMA is most definately there. Have a look inside, notice that SGI wrote it:

# ls -l mm/numa.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 wheel users 3429 Sep 17 2001 numa.c

And SMP, which SCO makes a huge deal of in the threats and IBM suit, is specifically
patched to improve support, something SCO engineers knew they were doing because
it is distributed in the RPM as a seperate file from Alan Cox' tree.

So this does proves SCO knew exactly what they were doing. We all know their intent
to make Linux a killer enterprise OS, it was specifically stated (Ramsom Love, then
Caldera CEO). This RPM establishes when and what SCO knew and was doing. It goes
a long way towards proving not only that they knew, but that they were actively involved.
