MP being sold on ebay (1 Viewer)

I have no idea where to post this, so I thought here would do. Hopefully someone sees this and know's how to stop the scam.

Doing a search for Media portal plugins I found an ebay user selling Media Portal.

Seems to defeat the purpose of open source, unless of course the user is actually donating to the project as they state in the listing, though I presume this is just to avoid trouble with ebay. I wouldn't have thought it was really in the spirit of open source anyway myself.

Hate to see the makers of such a fine product having their IP stolen.

Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible — just enough to cover the cost.

Actually we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can. If this seems surprising to you, please read on.

I stand corrected.
