FYI, I am copying Daniel Polansky’s answer from the Freemind forum.

“After considering the issue, my suggestion is to do nothing. In principle, they have right to sell FreeMind for whatever price they want. That they claim copyright to the product and to the product description texts is certainly against law and moral. Nevertheless, there is no much we can do to prevent them from doing that, unless we would want to sue them. That would cost us scarce resources like money, time and concentration. It is easy for anyone too see that the product description texts and the product are taken directly from FreeMind. Also, they cannot expect to get anything like positive review of what they sell. Thus only someone not very smart or unlucky would pay them for the renamed FreeMind, unless he would want to get the support that they seem to offer.”
