Of course, this implanting of spyware only works if you give away binary versions of your product. Open source that you compile yourself would not last long in the community if it tried to imbed spyware code. Never trust a free executable. That has been true since I got my first Amiga virus from "cracked" copy protected code, and it is true now.
