First question on this - what port(s) is this using?

Second question - as the only licence displayed on the installaiton of Calibre is the GNU licence, is it stated anywhere that Calibre is doing this i.e. sending data of any type back to the developer?

And third - exactly what is being sent back? Obviously country (or IP to determine this) from the Calibre web site posted article) - but what else?

Calibre also checks for the latest version on connect
