rlm@1 1 This copy of the 7-zip source code has been modified as follows:
rlm@1 2 - Encoding support has been disabled, so only archive extraction is supported.
rlm@1 3 - Some archive formats have been removed, so only 7z, bzip2, gzip, lzh, lzma, rar, split, tar, and zip are supported.
rlm@1 4 - Support for using it as a static library has been added. (specifically, a file called InitializeStaticLib.h)
rlm@1 5 - Occasional minor fixes/customization not really worth describing in detail.
rlm@1 6 - The LGPL part of the 7-zip library source license has been upgraded to GPL 2.0 (as per condition 3 of the LGPL 2.1)
rlm@1 7
rlm@1 8 You can find most of the files in this library in the "7-Zip Source code" download at http://www.7-zip.org/ distributed under the LGPL 2.1.
rlm@1 9 A small subset of them are in the LZMA SDK which is public domain and can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html

rlm@1 28 Notes about unRAR license:
rlm@1 29
rlm@1 30 Please check main restriction from unRar license:
rlm@1 31
rlm@1 32 2. The unRAR sources may be used in any software to handle RAR
rlm@1 33 archives without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used
rlm@1 34 to re-create the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary.
rlm@1 35 Distribution of modified unRAR sources in separate form or as a
rlm@1 36 part of other software is permitted, provided that it is clearly
rlm@1 37 stated in the documentation and source comments that the code may
rlm@1 38 not be used to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver.
rlm@1 39
rlm@1 40 In brief it means:
rlm@1 41 1) You can compile and use compiled files under GNU GPL rules, since
rlm@1 42 unRAR license almost has no restrictions for compiled files.
rlm@1 43 You can link these compiled files to GPL programs.
rlm@1 44 2) You can fix bugs in source code and use compiled fixed version.
rlm@1 45 3) You can not use unRAR sources to re-create the RAR compression algorithm.
