Editing Grip (software) (section)

==History==
The original author, Mike Oliphant, originally registered Grip as a project at [[SourceForge.net]], the [[free and open-source software]] website, on March 17, 2000, and made pre-compiled binaries for [[RPM Package Manager|RPM]] [[Linux distributions]] available. However, by mid-2005 development had stalled, and while the software was still very much usable, in effect it languished without a maintainer. In late 2016, a new maintainer, Johnny Solbu, stepped up by forking the project into "Grip 2" based on version 3.3.1 of the original. In April 2017, he gained access to the original project page and stated on the forked project page his intention to move development back to the old project,<ref>{{cite web
