I think unrar-free, if it makes libarchive easier to use via an
intuitive CLI, serves a purpose.
What we are discussing here is whether there's a problem or not with the
FSDG and the name 'unrar-free'. Given the argument that 'unrar-free'
package could steer users toward 'unrar' non-free (which is not
available in Guix) is a bit of a stretch (as you admitted), I don't
think it's ground to refuse its inclusion in Guix.
