Re: License pop-up

Ha! I happen to work with the guy who filed that bug report. He's no
longer particularly interested, but I agree with his original
assessment. We should remove the popup, it is silly.

Hi,
Regarding my previous posting on this, I found the original, at times 
heated, discussion at Debian:


https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=132679

Oliver actual took part in that discussion and expressed his preference 
that the click-through license remain.

However, they decided to remove it in Debian.

I'm not sure that I am in a position to decide on this regarding whether 
or not to apply the patch and remove it for all.

Oliver had some very specific reasons for leaving it in.

If anyone would like to weigh in on this issue, then I would be happy to 
listen to arguments.


For me, I'm happy to leave it as-is for the moment.

Cheers,
Ralph
