With the recent introduction of the Windows installer for Chandler the
end-user is presented with a GPL liscense agreement that one MUST
agree to before Chandler will install. I am concerned about the user
experience, and feel that introducing this mandatory step is
off-putting and inappropriate.

While the current versions of Chanler are in fact released under terms
of the GPL, we have here-to-for referenced the license terms in the
documentation and not pushed it in the user's face as the very first
experience in "using" Chandler.

Unless there is some compelling reason for its use I would suggest we
remove this step in the 0.5 release. (When we finally settle on the
actual Chandler end-user licensing terms it might be appropriate to
reintroduce this step during the installation process.)
