[olug] Get this, Microsoft has a patent on sudo

[Kelly Williams]

What micro$oft is doing reminds me of the movie anti-trust.  What next 
Micro$oft will patent cd next. Sorry its open source.

Russell here is something that I found about sudo 
_http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/news.html_ says that MicroSoft 
<http://www.microsoft.com> was granted US patent 7,617,530 
<http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7617530.html> that some people 
incorrectly believed could be interpreted to cover /Sudo/ on November 
10, 2009.
