I think removing the license dialog is a bad idea.  You need to

install unless the end user agrees with it.

Yeah. Why not just rather than the whole ok/cancel discussion, go with a
single button saying "good for me!" and be done with it.

IOW, the license thing should be considered *informational* rather than a
choice. Because to a user, that's exactly what the GPL is.

Ok, if there are no further objections, we'll do that.

Sebastian,
can we easily modify the license dialog with Inno Setup?
The license should be displayed and a single click should
be sufficient to "continue".
