From the MacOS X
Dictionary Quote:
| spyware |?sp??we(?)r| noun software that self-installs on computers and tracks the user's Internet use, mainly for marketing purposes.

Neither
Snapz Pro nor
iTunes self-installs. Neither app calls home to report your Internet usage. You may find a more detailed definition on
Dictionary.com. The bottomline is that phoning home in and of itself does not qualify an application or utility as spyware. If it phones home with the user's consent, its candidacy for spyware is disqualified. There is no spyware on the Mac.
