I think a point of showing the GPL license is to let the users SEE and 
AGREE to it
then he/she can start using the software otherwise what's the point of GPL?

I disagree with you here [Next] button actually have no meaning at all 
what so ever...
So if you wanna use VLC you'd better AGREE ... and ... acknowledge.
