Trademark violation.

Even though the software is available for use, I expect that the Calibre trademark, including the name and logo, is not available to be used as this is the property of @kovidgoyal, or whatever Foundation owns the trademark.

To redistribute, the Calibre software would need to be rebranded and repackaged.

Although, I believe most people would agree that it would be bad form to grab someone elses work and pass it off as your own, without ever contributing to the improvement of the original work.
