| Unfortunately the Kdenlive team has been having persistent issues

| people buying SEO keywords including the app's name and then
| pushing more or less subtly relabeled versions, outright malware,
| and even identity theft in the form of impersonating members of
| the dev team on the fake sites. It's very difficult to combat
| effectively and burns a lot of energy.
