he didn't just say malicious
Neither did blessedguy say "malicious". Blessedguy gave the definition of malware and explained why the sponsor isn't malware; "Malware" being the exact word used by the OP.

lol.... Why on earth would Patchou, or anyone else for that matter, want to start living like Richard Stallman? It's not for nothing that he is called 'excentric'. I don't see you living like Richard either, eventhough you're a big advocate of 'free software'. I don't see why anybody earning money in an honest way, should change their lifes. Besides, even Richard Stallman finds it more than ok if authors would ask money or have a way to ensure an honest income from their work, as long as their isn't any restriction in usage.
