Hi, Some people/sites try to solicit this from you for free apps, a few then the try to make money from 'bundling' free app for a price - with or without your permission.

There is usually little you can do to prevent this, particularly if it involves different jurisdictions and you don't have deeps pockets & the resources to try to protect your work.
