What am I agreeing to?

I don't actually care, but odd that every installation does this.

I hate it when Free Software installers present the GPL as if it's an EULA. It's not! You don't have to agree to it to install the software!

You only have to agree to it if you decide to do something that copyright law otherwise does not allow (e.g. redistribution of a modified version), and it is the act of doing that thing itself that signals your acceptance, no button-clicking necessary.

It's him, he's the chosen one. The one who gets to use the software without agreeing to anything. The one who will bring peace
