+# RAR fixture attribution
+
+`sample.rar` is a byte-identical copy of `testFiles/FolderTest.rar` from the
+[YuJianrong/node-unrar.js](https://github.com/YuJianrong/node-unrar.js)
+repository (MIT-licensed), used there for that project's own extraction
+tests. Reused here because there is no way to create a `.rar` fixture from
+this codebase — the `unrar` library's license bars any tool (including this
+project's own converters) from writing the RAR format, so RAR support is
+extraction-only everywhere, including in test fixtures.
