I don't quite understand. - When you install a GPL program in Linux (trough package manager). It gets installed. - When git is installed Under Windows / Cygwin, it gets installed. ... and if the git is installed trough windows installer, you need to *accept* the install? I really don't follow why there is need to force Windows type EULA questions through the end users' throat in that particular case, when it is not done in other cases.
