Is that even correct though, legal wise?  If I the admin for a system
install software and accept the license, then a multitude of users use
the software, have they also accepted the license?  One would think not.
On the Red Hat / Fedora side, we're extremely opposed to any sort of
interactive package installation.  All package installations must be
automatable and that throws out any accepting of licenses during the
transaction.
