Umm. I consider it to be UNACCEPTABLY STUPID to claim "courtesy" if it actually makes something just more irritating to users. I absolutely detest clicking through EULA's or other self-serving crap. I hate software that bothers me with their license details. Nobody reads those things anyway, and an extra click or an extra window I didn't ask for - _especially_ in open source software - is just a bug. Bugs aren't "courtesy". Not to the user, and certainly not to the developer. Linus
