Nonfree (proprietary) software is very often malware (designed to
mistreat the user). Nonfree software is controlled by its developers,
which puts them in a position of power over the users; that is the
basic injustice. The developers often exercise that power to the
detriment of the users they ought to serve.
This page lists instances where proprietary software had a bug,
and the developers converted it into a malicious functionality by
trying to cover up the existence of the bug.
If you know of an example that ought to be in this page but isn't
here, please write
to <webmasters@gnu.org>
to inform us. Please include the URL of a trustworthy reference or two
to present the specifics.
