No WinRAR?
It is not free (which is the main goal of this list) or open source.
Oh yeah. I forget it's not free after using it for almost 3 decades without paying for it...
I know, it loses on a technicality.
I know, it looses on a technicality.
Aside from the comma splice, did you mean 'loses' or 'loosens'?
My bad. It's lose, as in "not win". In this case, "it does not earn a place on the list due to a technicality". The technicality, being an infinite free trial does not truly count in the spirit of being free.
