One problem with that "license agreement" is that you don't have to
accept GPL to *use* the program. The license only applies when you
want to distribute the program (or a modified version.) 

And we don't really have to *ask* anyone to accept the license; if
they don't accept the license they are not allowed to copy, modify,
and/or distribute the program. GPL grants you rights, unlike "normal"
EULAs that takes away rights (and a lot of the crap included in the
EULAs are probably not even legal:)

I still think it is a good idea to display the license to the user,
but I have my doubts about the accept/decline options ;-)

Just some food for thought.
