Public bug reported:
OpenPrinting marks all non-free drivers and also all drivers with patent
issues with appropriate flags. These drivers should be installed into a
free operating system only if the user agrees with the non-free license
or with the patent issues. Also manufacturers can require that the user
has to confirm the license.
Therefore let Jockey pop up a window with the license text with buttons
to confirm or reject in the case that the driver is non-free or if it
has patent issues. In the case that the user confirms, download and
install the driver, in case of rejection, go back to the Jockey window
where the user selects the driver and confirms its download.
