Yes, I also don't know how license critical distributions like Debian can even ship rsync now because it contains a) laundered code and b) Tridgell cannot claim copyright over the Claude additions.

So rsync should be pinned to an older version and just get security updates.

Yeah. Pretty discouraging particularly since I have always associated Tridgell with high-quality code.

I make all my projects open, usually GPLv3, but I don't mind using closed tools to help me work more efficiently, even though I am creating free software myself. I know some people take a stronger stance and refuse to use any closed tools at all. That is a great choice if that is what you want to do. It isn't how I work, and it never has been."
