AFAIK, showing the License during installation is the traditional way to do so on Windows. Please, note that the GPL clearly states that distribution is possible "provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty." IANAL, but it appears to me that if an installer that does not follow the traditional way (for the target system) of publishing the copyright notice, may be found in violation of the later requirement, and thus any such distribution may deem as unlawful. So, if you think about creating your own installer for Git, don't forget to consult to your lawyer... Dmitry
