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.
