To simply ask a vendor if there is any spyware in the product is naive in 
the extreme. What do you suppose the answer would be? Yes? I don't think 
so. Would you ask a used car salesman whether he was taking advantage of 
you? 

The advantage to using open source software is that you or someone 
knowledgeable about programming can check the source code and verify that 
there is no malware present.
