It is my understanding that you have to present the OIC license to the user before installation and have them *actively* accept it (click on an "I accept" button, or answering "yes" to a prompt, with "yes" not being the default etc). The last time I checked, you couldn't even download the OIC without accepting the license first via JavaScript; there were no direct download link. And somewhere in their redistribution license was a clause that says they expect you to do the same thing when you redistribute. So it is possible, but requires non-trivial extra effort in your installer to do this. Cheers, -Jan
