I say that nonfree software licenses are an injustice, but that is not
"demonizing".  I focus criticism mainly on the programs rather than
the people that develop them.

As regards non-copyleft free licenses, I say they are ethically
acceptible but weak.  A free program under a pushover license is
better than no free program at all.  This is not demonization; it is
praise with caveat.  It is not glowing praise, but nonetheless praise.

See http://gnu.org/copyleft/ for more explanation of this issue.
