What I've done now is to display the GPL after installation is
finished, the user hasn't to say something like "I accept" but to push
a button labelled "OK".
Regarding the sources: I've limited webspace, so I've just mailed the
administrator of the university where I study, if I can put the sources
on their ftp server, if he says it's ok, I'll publish the installer
this week.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
