Considering that it is of questionable legality to require the acceptance of a license to move files from one place to another on your computer, I'd think that having only one acceptance instead of two would be appropriate. My understanding is that you only need a license to do something that you're otherwise not allowed to do - such as distribute a copyrighted file. Once you've downloaded the file you've already copied it - now you're just moving it from directory A to B. But in any case the authors already have a prompt in their software - I don't think it is necessary to make the build interactive to nag people again... :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGjvzcG4/rWKZmVWkRAkyDAJ9+pHMEEPredsg8sDC+6YUIv7FOVACgj7e7 pilr915pjy41W7Exilt3Prc= =9+5H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
