Here's the answer from the author (I believe)
The key distinction he does is between may send, and does send, which I think is fairly represented in the article.
Bear in mind, the author is campaigning to raise money to open source the software, so this actual or potential behavior might soon be removed.

Okay, I was quite surprised to read this because I've been experimenting with Sciter for awhile now and I have a firewall setup to require my permission anytime any application tries to use the internet.

And Sciter has never attempted to do so, apart from instances where I've deliberately used its URL loading functionality.
