I think that it's probably better not to use the -R, so that the sources don't get accidentally erased when doing an uncompress command, as some of those commands delete the compressed files after extracting. I had asked if it should be -R because I did not know that a root owned compressed file could be uncompressed, but it makes since that you can uncompress it since you can read it. So everything is going good.
