Hi fusion,

You are right,

"The non reverse engineering clause about the RAR compression algorithm and code apply as well for any rewritten version, so no Free Software, royalty free RAR archiver and compressor can be created under current licensing terms. In other words, no open source alternative exist to WinRar's Rar.exe
