Ambiguous or not, surely you can appreciate how ridiculous it is to be bundling closed-source malware with GPU-licensed open-source software, even if it is optional? It is precisely this kind of software that the GPL aims to protect against - people should be in control of their software, and not the other way round. The bundling of malware with Filezilla is so blatantly against the core ethos of GNU, and calls into question the morality of the creators/distributors of said software.
And the fact that it is so unexpected is what makes this misleading. You're installing open-source software, on a mac, no less. You're expecting the bottom-right button to continue the installation. I don't know how you can't see how easily it is for a user to accidentally install this malware.
