I downloaded the installer and it unpacked all the components without
showing any EULA (I used text mode).

Interesting. Valentin, are you going to try mailing him?

If you are, please request the source not only for OpenOCD itself but

as well, as the OpenOCD license doesn't have any exceptions that allow
linking with proprietary code.
