No, the archiver is not proprietary. It's shareware. That's why it's
available from the nonfree distribution archives.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/rar says:

 This is the RAR archiver from Eugene Roshal. It supports multiple
 volume archives and damage protection. It can also create
 SFX-archives. There are versions which run on DOS, Windows
 (3.1x,95,NT), FreeBSD, BSDI.
 This program is shareware and you must register it after 40 days of use.
