     1.4 +This copy of the 7-zip source code has been modified as follows:
     1.5 +- Encoding support has been disabled, so only archive extraction is supported.
     1.6 +- Some archive formats have been removed, so only 7z, bzip2, gzip, lzh, lzma, rar, split, tar, and zip are supported.
     1.7 +- Support for using it as a static library has been added. (specifically, a file called InitializeStaticLib.h)
     1.8 +- Occasional minor fixes/customization not really worth describing in detail.
     1.9 +- 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)
    1.10 +
    1.11 +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.
    1.12 +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

    1.25 +------------
    1.26 +
    1.27 +This copy of 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU GPL 2.0
    1.28 +(with an additional restriction that has always applied to the unRar code).
    1.29 +read License.txt for more infomation about license.
    1.30 +
    1.31 +Notes about unRAR license:
    1.32 +
    1.33 +Please check main restriction from unRar license:
    1.34 +
    1.35 +   2. The unRAR sources may be used in any software to handle RAR
    1.36 +      archives without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used
    1.37 +      to re-create the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary.
    1.38 +      Distribution of modified unRAR sources in separate form or as a
    1.39 +      part of other software is permitted, provided that it is clearly
    1.40 +      stated in the documentation and source comments that the code may
    1.41 +      not be used to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver.
    1.42 +
    1.43 +In brief it means:
    1.44 +1) You can compile and use compiled files under GNU GPL rules, since 
    1.45 +   unRAR license almost has no restrictions for compiled files.
    1.46 +   You can link these compiled files to GPL programs.
    1.47 +2) You can fix bugs in source code and use compiled fixed version.
    1.48 +3) You can not use unRAR sources to re-create the RAR compression algorithm.
