Sudo maintainer, handling utility for more than 30 years, is looking for support (www.theregister.com)

It's hard to imagine something as fundamental to computing as the sudo command becoming abandonware, yet here we are: its solitary maintainer is asking for help to keep the project alive.

I would love sudo-rs to be GPL but that's orthogonal to the fact of it being bundled in distros. It's still FOSS

Not good enough, it is a critical piece of software & it HAS to be copyleft

Distros don't take that into account though
