First of all, thank you for your hard work on this software.

During first run, the user needs to accept that they agree to the terms of the GPL in order to setup and use the software; however, the GPL only applies to the redistribution of code, not using it.

From the GPL (section 0, paragraph 2): "Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted..."

I suggest that this requirement is removed from the installer.

Thanks for letting us know. We were not aware of that and will remove this in one of the coming versions.
