[clue-cert] STOP using SUDO

[James Allen]

We are supposed to remove sudo because Microsoft files for a patent when sudo was licensed before Microsoft says it they had an "invention"?

If you removed everything Microsoft "claims" then just go buy Windows. They think they own everything.

That wouldn't work for a valid patent.

I wouldn't remove sudo.  Sudo has been in use since the 80's.  Microsoft's patent doesn't change the fact that it existed before  Microsoft filed for a patent.  If I recall, they also filed for a patent on linked lists, which has also been used for decades.  I think it was invented in the 60's.

Or we'll just start using "suto" instead of "sudo" - just like ifconfig instead of ipconfig

:-)
