-A Brief history of sudo(8):
-
-Sudo was first conceived and implemented by Bob Coggeshall and Cliff
-Spencer around 1980 at the Department of Computer Science at
-SUNY/Buffalo.  It ran on a VAX-11/750 running 4.1BSD.  An updated
-version, credited to Phil Betchel, Cliff Spencer, Gretchen Phillips,
-John LoVerso and Don Gworek, was posted to the net.sources newsgroup
-in December of 1985.
-
-In the Summer of 1986, Garth Snyder released an enhanced version
-of sudo. For the next 5 years, sudo was fed and watered by a handful
-of folks at CU-Boulder, including Bob Coggeshall, Bob Manchek, and
-Trent Hein.
-
-In 1991, Dave Hieb and Jeff Nieusma wrote a new version of sudo
-with an enhanced sudoers format under contract to a consulting firm
-called "The Root Group".  This version was later released under the
-GNU public license.
-
-In 1994, after maintaining sudo informally within CU-Boulder for
-some time, Todd Miller made a public release of "CU sudo" (version
-1.3) with bug fixes and support for more operating systems.  The
-"CU" was added to differentiate it from the "official" version from
-"The Root Group".
-
-In 1996, Todd, who had been maintaining sudo for several years in
-his spare time, brought sudo development under the umbrella of his
-consulting firm, Courtesan Consulting.  Courtesan remains committed
-to a free sudo and is sponsoring another sudo rewrite as well as
-continued development of the sudo 1.x code base.
-
-In 1999, the "CU" prefix was dropped from the name since there has
-been no formal release of sudo from "The Root Group" since 1991
-(the original authors now work elsewhere).  As of version 1.6, Sudo
-no longer contains any of the original "Root Group" code and is
-available under an ISC-style license.
-
-In 2004, Todd incorporated as GratiSoft, Inc. to provide commercial
-support and enhancements to the sudo community.
