With all due respect to your work on the TDF extensions site, and with
whatever IANAL caveat, but I don't see this change (requiring extensions
hosted on the TDF extensions site to ask for license acceptance during
installation) as neither necessary nor helpful.
Maybe the board (as the entity responsible for running that extensions
site, IIUC; now on CC) has an opinion here?
