If you agree to offer .rar as a download option for your downloads, we would of course provide you with a license key for WinRAR, including all future updates, for free. We also have a "Get WinRAR" button prepared for your use in order to lead your customers to our download site in case they are not
familiar with our software.

As OpenOffice.org is a Free/Open Source Software project, is *unacceptable* to depend on closed source tools, like RAR. It may be considered as an option in the future if both the encoder and the decoder become Open Source or at least the complete specifications for the format are published so third parties can implement FOSS tools for working with those archives. We don't have any interest in using or even promoting closed formats, as .rar is, you can see this from our own example: the file formats produced by OpenOffice.org follow an ISO standard.

In the meantime, if we need a high compression format which is not as widely supported as ZIP, 7-zip's LZMA compression (http://www.7-zip.org/) serves us well.
