Also, when I was googling for that video, I found a blog post
somewhere (but I didn't record the URL) that pointed out that it could
be considered Evil to license software under a non-free license that
is so easy to confuse with a legitimate free license, so all this
person's software could be considered to be violating its own license.

Oh, I found it now. http://apebox.org/wordpress/rants/456/
