> I'm slightly confused by the installer for VLC 1.0.0 Win32. It seems to be set up based on a misinterpretation of the GPL. The installer says "You must accept the agreement to install VLC media player", with the GPL version 2 being presented as the agreement, but section 0 of the GPL says "Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.". A quick search for the word "agree" shows no references to the reader agreeing to anything. If the license doesn't place any conditions on using the program, why does the user have to accept it?

Because, so far, we don't know how to do that easily with nsis.
Code is there:

Patch is welcome.
