Sending an e-mail to the Microsoft store doesn't need to cost
anything, and it would have more effect if there can be a claim of
trademark. Claiming copyright infringement as discussed on this
thread is also sensible but it does need more work and will need at
least the cost of buying kdiff3 from their store.
Hi,
sending just a mail will for sure not be enough, as the license allows
anybody to upload our stuff there.
You can start to claim that the name is trademarked but then this will
only work if the other party doesn't claim it is not or that we don't
have
a policy that forbids to upload something with that name + get money
for it.
I think the suggestion of a letter to Microsoft was about the potential
copyright violation, not about trademark. They could confirm whether or
not there is an offer of source code within the package without having
to buy it.
