From a comment on the site: "(...) its (original rsync's) compressed manual page is almost as big as the compressed openrsync sources (...)"

It's license (ISC ofc.) and size makes it great resource to study rsync. I would like to have Dropbox on my phone as legendary combination of rsync and cron. It may be nice to have a port to Java so it would work without JNI, but maybe that's only my fetish.



I just want to point out that rsync is, in fact, no longer ISC licensed but rather GPL (v3, at that), which is likely a big part of the reason this new implementation even exists.


rsync was never ISC licensed afaik. The parent is referring to openrsync's license.


Rsync was developed by the Samba people, it is under the same license (GPL).
