You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

But why? I think nothing was wrong there. Who does certificate for free?
Only my mind.

That has nothing to do with spamming.

The problem is, if the question is "old" ... I can't remember how many years old the question was, and someone posts an answer with a link to a site that they are involved with, and that site involves some sort of financial remuneration, ... why post a response? Is it not a case of searching for an opportunity to promote a particular site, regardless of the age of a question? Spam.
Where do we draw the line?
If that answer had been posted to a recent, unanswered question, then it's a perfectly valid response (although a disclaimer really ought to be included)... but reviving old posts to essentially advertise your own company is just spam (or abuse, or choose a word)

I agree with you.
But, something one can't see on the Question: The question came back to the top of the list because of some tests done by Matthew Dennis. Therefore the member did not search explicitly for it.
Anyway not a big thing.

Yes, it has everything to do with spamming, or site-driving if you prefer.
Answering a five years old question, posting a link to a commercial site you (the poster) are directly involved in, is definitely spamming.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Again, I disagree: the question came back because the reported account posted an answer to it.

No definitely not! But I agree you can not see that on the answer. It was a "lucky shot" that I was online at that time and could observe some test answers from Matthew Dennis (CP stuff) for this question

The OP is claiming he wrote the other articles as well.

It is very likely that it's the same author, see this[^] discussion.

Thank you for your message. I am the article author (the author for all three articles) and I can ensure you that the CodeProject article is NOT a copy/paste from download.com. The codeproject article is at least three times bigger, has code samples and screenshot attached - you won't find all these on that download.com page.
Yes, some phrases in the download.com and codeproject.com texts are similar - because I am a programmer rather than writer and cannot write down three completely different texts about same thing, please excuse me for that 
I would be very pleased if you'll agree to publish that article on this site.

You're certainly not obligated to do so but as a suggestion: You might want to change your CodeProject-member name to something less anonymous. (That might have avoided this episode in the first place.)

I just attempted to approve your article but then it already got approved as a tip/trick. However, the member telling you that it's not appropriate to be published as an article was wrong.
I'll try to summon @sean-ewington and ask him nicely to change the type of your publication back to article
Edit: I just saw this post[^] which probably should get sorted first.
