+<em>Malware</em> means software designed to function in ways that
+mistreat or harm the user. (This does not include accidental errors.)
+This page explains how the software in Apple's computer products are
+malware.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Malware and nonfree software are two different issues. The difference
+between <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a> and
+nonfree software is in
+<a href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html">
+whether the users have control of the program or vice versa</a>. It's
+not directly a question of what the program <em>does</em> when it
+runs. However, in practice nonfree software is often malware,
+because the developer's awareness that the users would be powerless to fix
+any malicious functionalities tempts the developer to impose some.

are like sabotage, but they are not grave enough to qualify

This section describes examples of Apple committing

upgrade

+
+<p>The wrongs in this section are not precisely malware, since they do
+not involve making the program that runs in a way that hurts the user.
+But they are a lot like malware, since they are technical Apple

+
+ <p>(From <a

+ iOS, the operating system of the Apple iThings, is a jail for
+ users.</a> That means it imposes censorship of application

+
+ <p>Apple has used this power to
+ <a
href="http://boingboing.net/2014/02/07/apple-yanks-last-remaining-bit.html">
+ censor all bitcoin apps</a> for the iThings.</p>
+
+ <p>Apple, in the iThings, pioneered the practice of general purpose
+ computers that are jails, and the term comes from iThing users, who
+ referred to escaping from the censorship as
“jailbreaking.”</p>
+
+ <p>Here is an article about the <a

+ code signing</a> that the iThings use to jail the user.</p>
+
+ <p>Curiously, Apple is beginning to allow limited passage through the

+ source code, provided the source code is written in Swift. Users
+ cannot do this freely because they are required to identify themselves.
+ <a href="https://developer.apple.com/xcode/">Here are
