… And to unpack either of the archives you have to use WinRar,
which is proprietary software under conditions of the WinRar
EULA, right? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Well, not quite. The Unarchiver claims [1] to support the Rar
format, and, indeed, its unar(1) command-line counterpart (?)
unpacks 6 files of 68 (as of blocek_1.36b.rar.) Doesn't seem
like a huge victory, though, but it may indicate that the use of
the Rar format won't be an issue for the free software
community. Eventually, that is.
