Actually zip is more open, you can download loads of different implementations with source that still work with pkunzip =)

RAR has a open source decompression module, and the source cannot be used to make a compression module out of it, but allows any program to decompress RARs as they want. RAR is not more open than zip.

RAR is definitely better than zip, but I define "better" by average compression levels. 7zip is better than RAR in my opinion, and also free and open source.

Ah okay, I didn`t know that only the decompression module was open source... that puts it back of course, but still better than zip. 7zip seems to be the winnder all along anyway...
