+<em>Malware</em> means software designed to function in ways that
+mistreat or harm the user.  (This does not include accidental errors.)

+<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.
