Not unless the person also distributes the calibre source code.

some fellow reported buying this in the mobileread kindle forum, so i took a look at it and, of course, the ethics of calibre distribution was just one of the points that came to mind, so i thought i should give you a heads-up.

the ebay copyright police should have been all over this, but they don't seem to act until someone complains. 11,000 kindle books for £3.50 is blatant copyright abuse - the calibre copyright is just a sideshow here.

Not to mention that some of the books are not legally available as ebooks anywhere, ie JK Rowling.
