You are just being a troll
The calibre website says
Usage statistics
Usage statistics are collected whenever a user starts calibre. Every calibre installation has a unique ID, this ID remains unchanged by upgrades and even an uninstall/re-install. This ID is used to collect usage statistics. Only this ID and the IP address of the computer is stored, no other identifying information is collected.
Now I don't see why Kovid has to say anything else if you don't believe the statement then their is nothing he can do. But he has provided source code for the paranoid to make their own binaries and so can even disable the stats calibre collects if they want.
