Thank you for your review. I dont knew that unRAR wasn't a free
software. I'll ask the Upstream to switch. But, if it's not too
difficult, I'll try to do it alone first; unRAR and unar seems to have
the same functionalities. :)

I'll read the full ICL license before I use it in this package, but, yes
I can switch from GPL2+ to an other free license. 

Regards,
 Hugo
