+
+<p>
+Malware and nonfree software are two different issues. The difference

+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

+because the developer's awareness that the users would be powerless to fix
+any malicious functionalities tempts the developer to impose some.
