I found two broken hyperlinks in kernel DocBook documentation.
I found these links by running the klinkstatus tool on our website,
which happens to include a copy of kernel documentation
(http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/)
Here are fixes with proposed URL replacements for the same resources.
Don't hesitate to let me know if you find better replacements.
Thanks,
Michael.
Fix broken link in Documentation/filesystem, replacing
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/journal-design.ps.gz
by a URL on http://boot.kernel.org

Fix broken link to license text:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/osl-1.1.txt
The text for version 1.1 of the Open Sofware license doesn't seem
to be available anywhere on http://www.opensource.org/ any more.
Replace it with a snapshot from the Internet Wayback Machine.
I first thought about hosting a copy of this file on my
own website, but my website has less authority than
an explicit backup of the original location.

Please drop the "boot." portion. It is not needed.
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/
works fine.

That's one option.
Too bad opensource.org doesn't provide archives.
OSL v1.1 is also available here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:OSL1.1
and here:
http://www.samurajdata.se/opensource/mirror/licenses/osl.php
Jeff, I don't suppose there is any chance of changing this file's license?
(since the Debian people found it to be a problem .. long ago)
