This is the free distributable version of StuffIt Standard Edition 7.0.3 (separate installers for Mac OS 8.6-9 and for OS X) and version 8 (for Windows.) These versions were released at the same time and were meant to be distributed together.
[Note]: When making archives with these versions, if you set the preferences for standard .sit format and check "faster" compression rather than "better" compression, the archive will be able to be opened with StuffIt Expander at least as far back as version 5.5.
This is not speculation; I have confirmed this. If anyone needs help getting this archive opened to get the particular installer their system requires, please add a comment below.
The "free" part of StuffIt Standard Edition is only for the Aladdin Expander. Aladdin DropStuff, & DropZip, etc; have always been a shareware product requiring registration, of which, a Deluxe serial of the same (7.0.x) version will enable.

@filch: You want this for a classic Mac OS? Then DL StuffIt Expander 5.5
Grab the 2nd DL on that page, it's the easiest to install as it's a raw image. Instruction how to use are in that page.
Then once installed you can start extracting .sit files. Install the 3rd DL on that page after this, because that gives you other functions like being able to extract .bin, .hqx and other file types.
Then you'll be able to extract and install the version 7 file on this page, if you want to.
So, maybe I am dull but how do I expand the .sit file if I do not have Stuffit, which downloads as an .sit file??
Thanks for checking MTT, nice to see it here.
Yes, all three installers are in the one DL (.bin) file, Mac classic, Mac OS X and Windows.
Its not my upload & I haven't used StuffIt on Win OS's in over a decade, so if its of use to anyone I couldn't say. I prefer to use unar.exe for StuffIt files if I need to decompress those on a Win platform.
This page already includes the Windows version?
Seting the preferences for standard .sit format and check "faster" compression rather than "better" compression, the archive will be able to be opened with StuffIt Expander at least as far back as version 5.5.
This also work with Stuffit Standard 9.0.1 in OS X
