Обычный проприетарный продукт. Вот выдержка из лицензии:

less /usr/share/doc/rar/copyright
...
You may not use, copy, emulate, clone, rent, lease, sell, modify,
       decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the
       licensed program, or any subset of the licensed program, except as
       provided for in this agreement.  Any such unauthorized use shall
       result in immediate and automatic termination of this license and
       may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution.

       Neither RAR binary code, WinRAR binary code, UnRAR source or UnRAR
       binary code may be used or reverse engineered to re-create the RAR
       compression algorithm, which is proprietary, without written
       permission of the author.
