Then perhaps it comes down to a tradeoff: Is it better to have the user potentially miss the License checkbox, and get an extra popup (Let me ask you again... :-), or is it better to have an extra panel that separates out the license/I accept question (e.g. as SuSE does)?
If we really have to ask about the license (I'd still like to understand how Ubuntu gets away without asking), then I bet that a user test could resolve this question....
