Just a note about what @trampster wrote in comment #21: it's not true that in the free-as-in-freedom software world users do not need to agree to the licence. The GPL does restrict the single user freedoms in order to grant other freedoms to the users community at large. For example the GPL restricts your freedom distribute works based on the code under a closed source license only. Other free-as-in-freedom licenses grant you that freedom instead. I think the user should always accept the license, regardless of what the license is. This is useful for the GPL and other free licenses too (in fact free software windows installers do show the license and ask users to accept it, also if it is the GPL).
