History
	Cscope began its origins in the early eighties at AT&T. The earliest change log entry is circa 1986, but cscope existed before then. Cscope was then passed onto UNIX Systems Laboratories (USL), which was acquired by Novell and then by Santa Cruz Operation (SCO). In April 2000 SCO released the code to Cscope as Open Source
