Why not good, why not antiwarez?
Any webmaster has the right for his own mistakes.
Why illegal? Is it possible to make any damage with
the corrupted Rar archive? I can not unpack that package
now, can only read the content.
But I can go to your site from that site and download
your full package.
There are just mistakes & mistakes.
Let us try to correct the situation.

Hey, Juergen, if you want to delete your personal page from his site,
let me know please and I'll try to explain to him this your position.
But there is your personal page on that site, where that guy explains
about your very useful program in Russian, gives the link to your site
and only wants to make more users for your program, nothing more.
These his actions are not illegal with your licence too.

Ok, what do you want?
Do you want just mbox100.zip on his site?

But now there is only one package -- wcx_mbox_1_0.rar, which contains
mboxdemo.exw, test.mbx, mbox_eng.txt and mbox.wcx files.

Compare please:
wcx_mbox_1_0.rar -- me see just now.
wcx_mbox_1.0.rar -- you see just now.
Do you see that guy is working on his site content?
Let us give him some timeout for his work, Ok ?

I thought mboxdemo.exw is the source code. No?

Why not to rename the archive? Say, that guy whants to mark all stuff,
related to wcx, as wcx_ .
Is it illegal ?

He wants Russians know about Juergen Luethje

No, Juergen, without respect you can not have your page
on good Russian antiwarez site, fact is.

That guy doesn't know Euphoria well enough to
corrupt your software, I think.
You have no mistakes at all? Yes?
