#BONZI BUDDY MALWARE SOFTWARE#
Unfortunately, proprietary software generally has much more funding and thus can create a much better product than open source alternatives. I certainly have used or seen software that's abusive (anti-virus/malware products are pretty bad in this respect), and I don't use them. People use software because it provides value to them.

I understand the point that's trying to be made. This defines malware as "Software whose functioning mistreats the user". If clarity was a primary goal, they would have, IMO, picked different words. I suspect a similar goal for "malware" now. "yes, I know no one charges anything, but it's really about freedom!" was a common conversation in tech circles. "yes, I know it's cost free, but you can charge money if you want". "no, not just free in cost, but free as in freedom". Many here may not remember when conversations like "it's free software". When people misinterpreted what they meant, they used that as an opportunity to. They did the same thing with "free" in "free software". That said, your intuition that they picked it to "get the free software conversation going" is, IMO, spot on. I doubt they intended to fearmonger though. I think the purpose was to (slightly) confuse, connect a known bad thing with commercial software, and spur further dissuasion. GNU picked the term "malware" on purpose. I'm not trying to make a value judgement. This is going to sound like a rant, but I really don't mean it that way.
