EULA is an End-User license agreement, and is to be agreed upon by the |
| 9 |
*user*. Not the person installing the program. This means they're (or |
| 10 |
should be) prompted at first start-up, not at install. If they're |
| 11 |
prompted at install, it's broken. |

Since they're prompted at install, *that* behaviour needs to be |
| 20 |
changed, not worked around. It should be prompted for every user, |
| 21 |
probably by using a config file in ~/.config/eulas + a wrapper which |
| 22 |
checks for the EULA having been accepted. |
