> Apache Tika would like to use the java-unrar library [1] to process RAR archives (see TIKA-241). Even though the library was at first partially under LGPL, the author of the library has provided us with a version that is entirely licensed under the UnRAR license copied below. I'm not sure how to interpret the limitation against developing a compression tool based on this source code. How should we deal with this?
