New description:

 I'm dumping these violators into one ticket because I believe they are all
 from the same few groups due to similarities in products and the spam
 messages.

 Most of these products are continuously spammed on mailing lists, forums,
 and Q/A sites. The spams are made to look like user replies.

 Most are configured with `--enable-gpl` and `--enable-nonfree`. None
 provide the license or source. All have been promoted in spams.

 * Adoreshare
 * Allavsoft
 * Allpepole
 * Avdshare - Rebranded iDealshare trash. Stole Vimeo's logo.
 * Brorsoft
 * Digiarty - MacX Video Converter Pro / macxdvd.com. Yet another turd from
 "Jun Xu". See #3993.
 * Faasoft
 * Firecoresoft
 * iDealshare
 * joyoshare
 * Leawo (aka Moyea)
 * MOVAVI - Appears to be LGPL. Does not disclose source, or provide copy
 of license, or state any changes.
 * Pavtube and clones (i-loveshare/multipelife/onebestsoft). See #4239.
 * PlayEngine. Spammed Stack Overflow.
 * Tenorshare. See #4241.
 * Wondershare - LGPL. Does not disclose source, or provide copy of
 license, or state any changes. From "Shenzhen Wondershare Information
 Technology Co., Ltd." Spammed Gusari forum.
