The Linux JFS was IIRC ported directly from the OS/2 JFS source code,
which IBM did originally release about 10 years ago.  It was on an IBM
site (AlphaWorks, I think) as was the LVM source; I think both have
disappeared from there now, though.

The modified eCS JFS has its source code released (in snapshots) 
somewhat fitfully via FTP at ftp.netlabs.org/pub/openjfs (currently 
it's a couple of releases out of date); if there's a more current
repository I'm not sure where it is.  The latest source should be 
available on request, though.
