This bug report is invalid, because USC already presents licenses that
you need to accept before installation.
It is not necessary to read or accept a redistribution license just to
use software. The GPLv3, for example, is explicit about this in section
9: "You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program." (If this wasn't the case, Juju and other
software that automates software installation would frequently be stuck
waiting for user input.)
You are thinking of end-user license agreements. Software in the
official Ubuntu repositories seldom has an EULA, presumably because this
would conflict with section 7 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
Software in MyApps can have an EULA; when it does, this is presented
during the payment process (see bug 781044).
** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
