I agree that free software is always better and there is no argument which makes non-free software better because of the non-free license.
Good.
But what i ask is: Is the license always the most important thinks or are there situations were other thinks are just more important?
Don't conflate the license and the freedom of the software user. A copyright license is just one of many ways to grant or restrict a user's freedom. Software idea patents, trademark restrictions, non-disclosure agreements, et cetera are all tools used to affect the freedom of software users.
A license isn't important. The freedom of the software's users is important.
What is *most* important is for the individual to decide for themselves.
