Allbery. -This version is pulled from Debian, which contains modifications by -Olaf Titz. +This version of pwgen was written by Theodore Ts'o +<tytso@alum.mit.edu>. It is modelled after a program originally written +by Brandon S. Allbery, and then later extensively modified by Olaf Titz, +Jim Lynch, and others. It was rewritten from scratch by Theodore Ts'o +because the original program was somewhat of a hack, and thus hard to +maintain, and because the licensing status of the program was unclear. -- oddbjorn (oddbjorn@tricknology.org) +WWW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwgen/ |
