[RARv3-project] Free software for RARv3 extraction

[Brett Smith]

Hello everyone,

The FSF recently learned about an existing free software tool that can 
extract RARv3 files, and we believe this fills the need highlighted by 
the entry in our High Priority Project list.  You can read more about it 
at <http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/free-rarv3-extraction>.

We're encouraging people to help make this software more useful on free 
systems -- for example, by packaging it for distributions, and 
integrating it into existing GUI archiving tools.

However, it's best to coordinate that work through the appropriate 
specific channels.  This list was started to arrange work to write the 
actual extraction code.  Since that part's done, we'll be shutting down 
the list.  If you have questions about this change, please feel free to 
contact me.

Best regards,
