There is an awful lot of "free software" that is free because of the crap/malicious code bundled in.

At least if I'm paying someone money -- they have an incentive not to screw me over. Or if it is open-source then I can hope that someone might have seen the cdoe... But Free/Closed-Source often means something dodgy.
