    I recently found "free" version of Lossless Scaling on GitHub. The release installer is definitely malware. It took GitHub 3 days to shutdown malware distribution. Category of my ticket was malware report, not copyright infringe

      Author here. I initially reported it as an imitation. A few days later I added evidence that it was malware.
