User promoting his software in relevant questions without disclosure

$

I was searching for DiagramO, an open source diagramming software on Stack Overflow. In its search results almost all the answers are written by a single user, who is the creator of the software according to his profile without any disclaimer about it being his software in his answers. I recall reading that when promoting your own software you need to have a disclaimer in your post.

I went through most of the questions for those answers and they are mostly about recommending a drawing tool. So his answers are relevant to the questions and some of them are up-voted and accepted. The user has also contributed to other questions.

So should I flag the answers as spam or should I comment on them asking to add disclaimer to the answer or should I report about the user?
