> there is no fix for unrar yet The non-free (but open source) unrar lib[1] has this license:
4. Legal stuff Unrar source 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 source 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. As I understand, it does not limit the possibility of using it as a reference for a free implementation of the *de*compression algorithm. As an example, the zip and unzip programs come from different source packages. INAL, but I see no problem in creating a GNU unrar program, as long as the code from unrarsrc is not used, just the concepts. 1: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-3.9.6.tar.gz
