Regardless of whether the informaiton is in the source code or not, the fact you do NOT state you are doing this in the installation of Calibre (or, apart from that stat page) shows that you are prepared to be untruthful in your implementation.
As others here have alluded to, if this were a commercial company people would be all over you like a rash for doing this (collecting data without informing your 'customers) - so why are you any different? Just because you hide behind 'open source' does not give you any protection whatsoever.
Final point to those saying 'read the source' - he is not distributing source code, he is distributing a compiled and working program - once it has bene compiled you have absolutely no idea what changes or additional code he has made to the program over and above the published source code.
Which is why, with no straight answer coming back, the question is still 'what else is Calibre collecting?'

If you don't like the program, UNINSTALL and leave us in peace please.
