Hi,

citing from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334371

  While investigating the possible inclusion of a GPL'd unrar package
  (see Bugzilla 319831), it was discovered that clamav contained a RAR
  v3 implementation that was copied/derived from the RARlabs unrar
  source code. Eugene Roshal of RARlabs confirmed that they did not
  give permission for any RAR v3 implementation to be used under the
  GPL, only under the unrar license (which is GPL incompatible).



Therefore: what is the origin of RAR v3 code? Who gave the permissions
to license it under GPLv2+? How can we proceed so that clamav can be
used legally?
