I believe this is more the intended idea of it. Plus, I think software
like OnDemand and other package programs expect there to be a license
with the software since it is written for Windows. They may put the GPL
there because something needs to be there?

I've noticed the click through as well, though from the one's that
I've read it was mainly to inform you that the software was written
under the GPL and not to blame them if it blows up your computer.
