It seems there are several unrar utilities, all bearing the same name. 
However, this one is clearly freeware :-(
    The source code of unRAR utility is freeware. This means:

   1. All copyrights to RAR and the utility unRAR are exclusively
      owned by the author - Eugene Roshal.

   2. The unRAR sources may be used in any software to handle RAR
      archives without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used
      to re-create the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary.
      Distribution of modified unRAR sources in separate form or as a
      part of other software is permitted, provided that it is clearly
      stated in the documentation and source comments that the code may
      not be used to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver.

   3. The unRAR utility may be freely distributed, provided the
      distribution package is not modified.  No person or company
      may charge a fee for the distribution of unRAR without written
      permission from the copyright holder.

Lenny, please drop it again.
