Important question about RarLinux...

I saw that there is a new version of RarLinux here on Slacky.it
Which is great but only there is something that I can't understand...

when you go to http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm , you can see there:
RAR 3.51 for Linux - Command line only - Trial - 661 KB
And the link for this is:
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.5.1.tar.gz

Well the package here has the same version number. Is it built from this package? And if it is, does it mean that it is TRIAL?

You can also check:
http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm

And there you can see:
UnRAR Slackware package - UnRAR installation package for Slackware Linux.
But the link for this is:
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrar-3.5.3-i486-1.tgz

So "Unrar" is something different from "RarLinux"... The Unrar utility is FREE and it helps you to exctract RAR archives. RarLinux is a complete RAR solution, but even it is for Linux it is NOT FREE, but it is TRIAL just like the Windows version.
The latest Unrar version is 3.5.3 and the latest RarLinux is 3.5.1

So which one is offered here? And if it is the NON FREE one, I think you should tell us that it's TRIAL :roll:
