7-Zip

7-Zip is an open-source file archiver available for Linux. It is used to combine files into archives and compress them, with a focus on achieving a high compression ratio. Linux users can use it when they need a system utility for handling archived or compressed data. Its command-line form supports working with archives from a Linux terminal.

The software does not require registration or payment, and it may be used on any computer, including one in a commercial organization. This makes it relevant to individual Linux users and organizations that need an archiving utility without a registration step. Most of its source code is distributed under the GNU LGPL. The unRAR code has GNU LGPL terms together with unRAR restrictions, so users should check the applicable license details.

MirrorNest lists 7-Zip for Linux in the System Tools category. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly onto its own storage before publishing it. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This places 7-Zip in the catalog as a Linux system utility distributed through a copy of the official build.
