The most common program that writes to resolv.conf is a DHCP client
daemon (any of them). If the system was originally installed with
DHCP, and then later changed to static addressing, the resolv.conf
file might have been written by whichever dhcpcd was installed at
the time, and then never modified again once the transition to static
addressing was made.
Whoever or whatever wrote the file is irrelevant now, though.
