I don't think it was VLC ppl. Previously I've seen ppl who try to sell FOSS
products taking advantage of ppl's lack of exploration. I believe best thing
to do is to notify all 3 parties.

   1. To VLC that some ppl are trying to sell your free software
   2. To hosting site, in this case, ebay and report both occurrence
   (selling) and person (seller)
   3. To seller, warning that we, the current VLC users won't allow
   him/her to cheat on potential/future VLC users.
