PeaZip is able to unpack RAR files, but it's using non-free code for
this job.  Therefore, PeaZip is non-free software.

You can check this for yourself, by reading the file res/7z/note.txt,
which should be in the PeaZip's directory.  Here's what's written:

  All software in this path is released under LGPL by Myspace and is
  derived from Igor Pavlov's 7-Zip; sfx icons were substituted from
  ones created by myself.
  
  Rar29.dll (Rar29.so on Linux systems) brings additional restriction:
  the unRAR sources cannot be used to re-create the RAR compression
  algorithm, which is proprietary.
  
  If you don't need to handle Rar format you can simply remove it.
