Yes it would be.
But I have encountered click-through licenses that did not require me
to agree to such conditions and that were click-throughs for DFSG
licenses. I have never found a click-through for a GPL subset.
I simply believe it is in ourbest interest to explore the situation
and be sure software is non-free before refusing to put it in Debian.
