⚖️ Open Source License & Source Code Notice

This application is distributed as free and open-source software under its respective copyleft protections. In full compliance with free software distribution guidelines and FSF compliance policies:

• Official Terms: You can review the original legal copyleft terms for this program at the Official 7-Zip License Documentation.
• Source Code Access: In compliance with open distribution obligations, the raw un-compiled source code files for this version can be directly audited or downloaded from the 7-zip site (You can download source from here).

🔒 Safety & Integrity Note

Because Software Forge is an independent, open-source project, we unfortunately cannot afford the high annual cost of a commercial Code Signing Certificate. As a result, Windows SmartScreen may flag these downloads as being from an “Unknown Publisher.”

To guarantee that your files are safe, authentic, and have not been modified or corrupted, you can verify them manually using PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\YourDownloadedFile.paf.exe -Algorithm SHA256

The app’s checksum when it was compiled is: 7e96140a959dd464c571fc8817cd8543c272cb8d23cfbffb10b4ae85680677d2

If your PowerShell output matches this hash exactly, your file is 100% safe, authentic, and untampered with!

⚠️ Important: If the checksums do not match, do not run the executable. It means the download was corrupted or modified. Please delete the file immediately and post a comment on our forums to let us know so we can fix it!
