the rync algorythm is actually part of the GPL code released by Andrew
Tridgell.
Like I said, GPL is viral. Tridgell released this algorythm as a part of
rsync undel GPL so use of the exact algorythm requires a GPL license.
You may reverse engineer the functionality but you cannot use the algoryth,
just a work-alike.
If you have even looked at the code for rsync, you will likely be infringing
on the GPL if you license this anything but GPL.
I am not some GPL nazi, I am just making this point.
You might run into some other problems if using GPL code in a C# environment
if you are using shared libraries that are not GPL.
