    They do not speak explicitly,  however the _fact_ is that

      "weaknesses or faults in free programs could be someone's motive
       to use a non-free program"

You have proposed a strange interpretation of the words.  The
conclusion that you come to shows that interpretation is wrong.  I
don't think we need to worry much about strange interpretations that
reject themselves.

If we can make the wording a clearer on this point, without making a
lot of work for ourselves or opening up other problems, then let's do so.
But we should not treat this the way we would treat a bug in a program.
