ECS's JFS code is based directly off the OpenJFS code, that is available
on Netlabs FTP. OpenJFS is GPL, and so Mensys have to respect that,
and I'm sure they will; but they may not have thought about it.

That said, the Bootable JFS part may not be opensource, as it is not
part of IFS driver, it is a separate piece of software, that Mensys have 
made by themselves.

For people still using old Warp - osFree's FreeLDR can boot on (IBM)JFS :-)

FAT32 source code is available at svn in Netlabs.

It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,
than to open it, and remove all doubt.
