Unfortunatly no. I just remember it as a passing comment while talking with
Andrew Tridgell (creator of rsync).
A google search turns up oblique references at:
http://rproxy.samba.org/doc/notes/server-generated-signatures.txt
http://www.sharemation.com/~milele/public/rsync-specification.htm (near bottom)
http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/rproxy/doc/calu_paper/calu_paper.tex?annotate=1.1
http://olstrans.sourceforge.net/release/OLS2000-rsync/OLS2000-rsync.html
Someone on debianplanet suggests it may be a rumour. I don't know, I can't
find any precise patent numbers.
HTH,
