No needed. rar_static is all the same as rar except static linking with some
common libs which is totally forbidden in fedora package guideline. Also the
default makefile in rarlinux do not install it.

Using /usr/local is not permitted in fedora package. The default path in
makefile for sfx is /usr/lib and it works, though it's not the best place for
sfx.

Maybe you should add more evidence about this, I tried "unrar help" with both
types of unrar and they display the same content. The opensource rar definitely
can handles the encryption and the authenticity verification.
Note: opensource unrar=nonfree rar
         gna     unrar=free rar
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrar

We don't need to distribute files that already in other package with the same
function and probably the same copy of source. The rpm from Atrpms and also
debian repo don't distribute unrar in rar.
