License Info ------------ Most of 7-Zip source code is under GNU LGPL. Files in folders 7zip/Compress/Rar20 7zip/Compress/Rar29 7zip/Compress/Rar29/Original are licensed under "unRAR license + GNU LGPL" license. Source code files in all other folders of this package are under GNU LGPL. "unRAR license + GNU LGPL" means that you must follow GNU LGPL in all aspects while it is in agreement with unRAR license. But you can not break unRAR license rules. It means that unRAR license is main license in that pair. You can find unRAR license in file unrarLicense.txt You can find GNU LGPL license in file copying.txt GNU LGPL information: --------------------- This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

The unRAR sources may be used in any software to handle RAR archives without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used to re-create the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary. Distribution of modified unRAR sources in separate form or as a part of other software is permitted, provided that it is clearly stated in the documentation and source comments that the code may not be used to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver. In brief it means: 1) You can compile and use compiled files under GNU LGPL rules, since unRAR license almost has no restrictions for compiled files. You can link these compiled files to LGPL programs. 2) You can fix bugs in source code and use compiled fixed version. 3) You can not use unRAR sources to re-create the RAR compression algorithm. 7zip\Compress\Rar29\Original folder contains files that are modified versions of original unRAR source code files. License notes ------------- You can support development of 7-Zip by registering. 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU LGPL. If you need license with other conditions, write to http://www.7-zip.org/support.html --- Also this package contains files from LZMA SDK you can download LZMA SDK from this page: http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html read about addtional licenses for LZMA SDK in file DOC/lzma.txt How to compile -------------- To compile sources you need Visual C++ 6.0. For compiling some files you also need new Platform SDK from Microsoft' Site: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm or http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/XPSP2FULLInstall.htm or http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ If you use MSVC6, specify SDK directories at top of directories lists: Tools / Options / Directories - Include files - Library files To compile 7-Zip for AMD64 and IA64 you need: Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK from microsoft.com Compiling under Unix/Linux -------------------------- Check this site for Posix/Linux version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/ Notes: ------ 7-Zip consists of COM modules (DLL files). But 7-Zip doesn't use standard COM interfaces for creating objects. Look at 7zip\UI\Client7z folder for example of using DLL files of 7-Zip. Some DLL files can use other DLL files from 7-Zip. If you don't like it, you must use standalone version of DLL. To compile standalone version of DLL you must include all used parts to project and define some defs. For example, 7zip\Bundles\Format7z is a standalone version of 7z.dll that works with 7z format. So you can use such DLL in your project without additional DLL files.
