There is a good discussion of this at:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/425085/did-i-accept-the-tts-mscorefonts-
installer-eula/425105

 + because the package `ttf-mscorefonts-installer`  is included in other meta 
packages (or can be), the error should make it clear what package will be 
affected by this EULA
 + It isn't clear what "This software" refers to in the error message. It 
appears, based on behavior that "this software" means the fonts in the TrueType 
Core Fonts for the Web package. Not the `ttf-mscorefonts-installer` package. 
 + "The installation of this program will be cancelled" is similarly cryptic.  
 + I didn't have the opportunity to actively decline, I simply did not accept. 
Saying I "declined" suggests that I managed to so something. 

A more clear message might be this:

> You did not accept  "TrueType Core Fonts for the Web EULA "
> If you do not agree to the "TrueType Core Fonts for the Web EULA " license 
> terms,  ttf-mscorefonts-installer cannot install these fonts.  This installer 
> package has been installed, but installation of the "TrueType Core Fonts for 
> the Web" will be cancelled. 

Note that there's also a typo in the form of an extra space in `for the
Web EULA "`
