I think his point is that you don't need to "accept" anything to be  
allowed to use GPLed software. Presenting the GPL as a click-through  
licence on installation implies that you should read it carefully to  
see what limits are imposed on you, when in fact the GPL explicitly  
allows you to "run the program, for any purpose" (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html 
).
