I would be willing to wager there is more inside that PDF than just the contents of the Bitcoin white paper. Curious if anyone has a hash sum handy

  $ wget https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
  [...]
  $ openssl sha256 bitcoin.pdf 
  SHA256(bitcoin.pdf)= b1674191a88ec5cdd733e4240a81803105dc412d6c6708d53ab94fc248f4f553
  $ openssl sha256 /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf
  SHA256(/System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf)= b1674191a88ec5cdd733e4240a81803105dc412d6c6708d53ab94fc248f4f553

This is very likely because of this https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/06/29/uk-court-orders-... ?

How could it be that versions of MacOS released in 2019 have the paper due to a court case from 2021? Even ignoring the temporal issue I really can't see any plausible connection.
