David,
I just read the RAR's license. The issue that will get us is:
3. There are 2 basic types of licenses issued for RAR, these are:
a. A single computer usage license. The user purchases one
license
to use RAR archiver on one computer.
Home users may use their single computer usage license on
all computers which are in property of the license owner.
Business users require one license per computer RAR is
installed on.
b. A multiple usage license. The user purchases a number of
usage
licenses for use, by the purchaser or the purchaser's
employees
on the same number of computers.
In a network (server/client) environment you must purchase
a license copy for each separate client (workstation)
on which RAR is installed, used, or accessed. A separate
license copy for each client (workstation) is needed
regardless
of whether the clients (workstations) will use RAR
simultaneously
or at different times. If for example you wish to have
9 different clients (workstations) in your network with
access
to RAR, you must purchase 9 license copies.
I'll contact Alexander Roshal and ask if he would consider LCNC's use
commercial nor not, and if so, how much. The other things Jeff mentions
are all workable, but asking us to support an extension which costs real
money isn't going to happen unless you or someone is willing to cough up
the licensing fees, and pray that they are one off and not yearly. The
rest of the stuff is either reconfiguring or rebuilding one of the
Apache modules, which the sys admin would have to do... Who is that
anyway?
