Not talking about commercial companies here - this is - as you say - an open source program that is collecting informaiton and not being honest and upfront about it. Sure - go read the source code - have you or anyone else here done that?
I asked a simple question as to what is being transferred. For whatever reason the developer won't give an open and honest answer. Therefore I ask - out in the open - what else is being collected and for what purpose?
So now the reverse question to you - do YOU trust big companies that collect information without telling you? I gather the answer to that will be a very definate no - so why defend anyone using open source doing the same thing? The bottom line here is that there is no difference whether you are using a commercial package or open source - if the software developer is collecting informaiton he or she should come out and say so and not hide behind a 'read the code, it is open source after all'.
Just what does Calibre collect information for and just what is being collected - how about an open and honest answer if there is nothing to hide?
