Has your status changed in the last 5 years, not seeing any commercial product, nor source code anywhere.

They're somewhat active on encode.su, here's a post from the 4th of June 2022:

I plan to open-source freearc'next 0.20 which makes freearc-compatible .arc archives

That would be great if it really happens!! @HappenedByProxy thank you for the update!!!

maybe I should just get the files from elsewhere and skip this seemingly dormant software.

if kind Bulat Ziganshin just tell us how far the opensourcing is going or status in his mind is. seems somewhat dead. (it all made me curious tho, could i make decompressing work under linux, when the file uploader used some premade windows compression tool, could still just be a virus that I downloaded)
