    Only downside is the MIT license, but they are doing good work. Glad they started the project. It also makes it easier to integrate onto other operating systems thanks to the rust toolchain.

      Pedants will be quick to point out that the original sudo is also pushover licensed, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is still a downside in the Rust version as well.

        I’m a big fan of gpl everything, but when sudo was getting installed in everything the argument that “this great security technology needs to be permissively licensed so there will be no reason for companies to not make its use standard practice” held a lot of weight!

          We don’t talk about 1997. It might hear. 😱

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
