Ubuntu's rsync is samba rsync. It's not part of the samba project per se, but it is made by the same guy and the official url is https://rsync.samba.org/ so it's entirely fair to call it samba rsync in my opinion.
tridge is mighty in the Linux world, he arguably greatly contributed to Linux as a server (via Samba to save on windows NT client user licenses), rsync, and IIRC reverse-engineering the bitlocker protocol thereby starting the gitstorm.
Ubuntu's packaged rsync, is it Samba rsync? Why reimplement it?
