Not to be confused with The Linux A.B.I. project, these are the files within the Linux kernel that define Linux's native ABI.
The files listed are from Linux 2.4.21 [download] [copying] which was released on 13 June 2003. The next release was 2.4.22 on 25 August 2003.

Files in the previous list but now omitted are as follows:
Items 183-184 (ongoing): Line-for-line code copied from System V into the Linux kernel [SCO 724 Appx A p.2] Misappropriation in the form of changed or revised code [SCO 724 Appx A p.3]. SCO's proprietary System V code was simply copied and pasted into the Linux kernel or associated libraries that were then included in a Red Hat distribution [SCO 724 Appx A p.3]. A material part of the code identified in this letter [127-M, see above] was part of the December 2005 Submission [SCO 724 Appx A p.4]
Items 201-203 (ongoing): The code identified in this letter [127-M, see above] was part of the October 2005 Submission [SCO 724 Appx A p.4]
