The GPL is not an EULA #7585

Describe the bug The Tribler installer includes the GPL text in an End User License Agreement (EULA) click-through page. The GPL is not a license for end users of the software and it doesn't belong in the installer. It serves no purpose legally or otherwise.

To Reproduce

  1. Start the Tribler installer and see the License Agreement click-through

Expected behavior The GPL text should not be in a click-through license during the install
