Some GPL software distributors do require the user to accept the GPL license during install.
How do you USE software without obtaining it from DISTRIBUTION ?
I can only assume those distributors themselves have just copied that practice from proprietary solutions without thinking. GPL is a copyright license, not an EULA per se, and is invalid when only using the software or code. GPL (and copyright law itself) applies only when distributing such yourself.
I give you that that it's a bad practice to ask users to agree or disagree with GPL before they can install the software in question; you are not required to agree with GPL to use GPLed software and thus the dialog is unneeded.
Heh, actually if there someone who has to agree/disagree with the GPL that one is not the final user but the developer/seller, when they choose it as their licensing scheme for 100% original code, or when they decide to include GPL-software in their product.
