Can we ask the conservancy to look into this and help us resolve it?

You have been subscribed to a private security bug by JazzyNico (jazzynico):
Illegal selling and creative claims on your free Inkscape software! I cannot find any other means whereby I can report these illegal activities to you!
Are you aware that http://FreeSoftwareCD.net and http://www.cdearth.com is trying to sell your free Inkscape software as "GraphicDesign Studio"?
In their policies if someone orders two other software titles for free then they could be charged for your free software. The website does not refer people from their site to your site directly. Therefore they are deceiving and lying to people about who makes the software, and they are not referring people directly to your website so they can download your software for free!
The site also charges for shipping of the CDs. I ordered their "free" CDs, and when I received them and found out the software was free they made me pay for return shipping, threatening that if I did not send back the CDs paying for the extra postal service of "Delivery Confirmation" that the CDs could be lost and they would then charge me $14.99 for each CD that is not returned.
The company DECEIVED and LIED to me and told me that the software was worth 80% more than they were charging. This is a lie and a deception seeing the software is available and free for download from you!
Please research them thoroughly because I believe they are illegally selling your software under the guise of selling CDs or by forcing payments on people by CLAIMING they did not receive the returned CDs!
Thank you!
