I doubt it's a KDE community member.

Well, I don't know if the app is complying with the GPL. I would need to purchase it to see if the downloaded package has the full GPL license text, and the Corresponding Sources or a link to it. (Which, by the way, I'm not sure if we're strictly following in our own official uploads to the MS Store) -- Nicolás
