EULA is an End-User license agreement, and is to be agreed upon by the *user*. Not the person installing the program. This means they're (or should be) prompted at first start-up, not at install. If they're prompted at install, it's broken. > I don't get your point. check_license() is used to print the license > (it's probably only used for EULA's actually) and wait for user approval > before resume the merge process.

It should be prompted for every user, probably by using a config file in ~/.config/eulas + a wrapper which checks for the EULA having been accepted. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan
