Hi Renaud,

I think the best thing for you to do in this case is to contact the
Foundation, as explained in the FAQ.

Provide all the details you have gathered so far, and it will be
passed on. Copyright violation is something we need to take seriously,
and the relevant working group can take further actions such as
banning the user and removing data from the history should such things
prove necessary. You have certainly done the right thing so far by
contacting the user directly to make initial investigations.

Cheers,
Andy
