At least when PackIt II was first distributed, it was SHAREWARE, not free.
Your statement is in error.  At the time PackIt II was distributed, the
developer announced the forthcoming PackIt III which was also shareware.

UnPit was specifically developed by someone (thanks!) so that files sent
packed with PackIt II or III could be unpacked with a public-domain utility.
If you want to pay for PackIt III and send stuff, OK, we can all use your
posting now.
