Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Not requiring end-users to _accept_ the GPL

[TOYAMA Shin-i. <sh...@wm...>]

Bill,

I took a quick look at the Inno Setup Documentation.

It says as follows

  License Agreement
  Shown if LicenseFile is set. Users may proceed to the next page 
  only if the option "I accept the agreement" is selected. 

in https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_wizardpages.htm

So I think the only thing we can do is to remove the setting for 
"LicenseFile" parameter so that it does not bring up the page
showing the license.

By the way, incidentally, due to my mistake in a recent change to 
the tuxpaint.iss, we now have the above situation in the current 
git repo.

License agreement page will come again by adding 
"LicenseFile={#BdistDir}\{#AppLicense}" to the [Setup] section.

So, what shall we do ?

Thanks.
