Hello again:

Some more details on the licensing issue:

That was of course meant to read "(with respect to the GPL'ed rsync)".

Meanwhile, in a licensing discussion over at the BackupPC list, it turns
out (according to Leen, one of the original authors) that perhaps the "SDK
just includes the include and library-files the compiler needs to know how
to build it" [1].

This would probably eliminate the issue anyway for GPL and BSD, as the
libraries are then part of the OS and not a separate download.

Best regards, Achim
