Since (or assuming) it actually is GPLed, you can totally ignore the
clickwrap. Simply arrange[1] to have the code distributed to you
simply under the terms of the GPL. [If it's not possible to ignore the
clickwrap entirely, then it's not actually GPLed.]

1: By viewing the source, for example, and constructing a url which
bypasses the clickwrap entirely, or have someone else distribute the
source to you under the GPL.
