didn't mention how free (as in freedom) software allows any random end-user to check or have it checked.
How is this different from proprietary software?
Either this is obvious, or I'm not understanding the question.
Software that doesn't give the user freedom to inspect the source code and pass it on to others, doesn't allow the user to check the software themselves or have someone else check it and pass it along to them. This is distinct from free software, which allows all of this.
