Can anyone recommend a license agreement for shareware/demoware that is not open-source? I want to publish a demo version that can be freely redistributed, of a program that I will later offer for sale.

Hey fedi, I'm considering making the EUPL v1.2 my default software license, anybody have a good reason why I shouldn't?

Note, I am only interested in copyleft licenses, so I'm not even considering things like Apache or MIT, but I'll gladly hear about problems it has that other copyleft licenses don't.
