This guy is already retired, he wants to spend his days sailing and here we are bitching about rsync not being good enough while we all use if for free
Most of us won’t be able to help code, fine.
But most of us could help with translations
Many of us could help with documentation
Some of us could contribute regularly with small financial donations
Some of us might have enough knowledge and expertise and experience to help code
Others could come up with other tasks that could be done.
The point is: rsync need more resources. Either we get him more resources or we STFU about the retired dev using AI. We can’t have it both ways.
I doubly agree to this. The moment you are deciding the license of your fucking software please think carefully. It is a public service and the dev(s) ow you nothing. Not even an apology. What you own to the devs is much greater and very high on value. They made the software that runs on your own paid electricity, that you granted to them.

Of course we can do both. I don’t have those resources to grant
and I get to point out that Tridge, despite his well earned reputation from the huge contribution of creating rsync and bringing it to the point where it’s effectively complete as an essential piece of internet infrastructure, was massively arrogant in abdicating his responsibility by shovelling LLM slop into that same piece of infrastructure.
