Getting the free version of DRDOS for noncommercial use should not incur any
fines. It is legal to have a copy for noncommercial use.
PKUNZIP is freeware.
PKZIP has a time limit for evaluation. I don't trcall the time period, but
you can reinstall it as often as you wish and restart the time period for
evaluation.
