Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.2-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
OpenOffice.org performs an installation if it's never been fired up
before. In this installation, we see a screen that looks somewhat like
this:
Software License Agreement:
<license texts here>
Please follow these steps to process with the installation:
1. View the complete License Agreement. Please use the
scroll bar of the 'Page Down' button in this dialog to Page Down
view the entire license text.
2. Accept the License Agreement
[ ] I accept the terms of the Agreement.
Print << Back Next >> Decline
When I hit the 'Decline' button, I am asked if I wish to exit the
installation program. But I don't want to! I just don't wish to accept
the licenses presented:
1. Your choice of the GPL, LGPL, or the SISSL.
2. The license for Berkeley DB, a derivative of the 3-clause BSD license
3. The 3-clause BSD license itself
4. The 3-clause BSD from Harvard University
5. The International Components for Unicode license, the X11 license
All five of these licenses do not restrict the use of this software.
Yet there is a screen that forces me to accept all five of them before I
can use it. If I never wish to modify or redistribute this software,
then I must not be compelled to accept these licenses before I can use
OpenOffice.
Please remove this screen from the installer, and the problem will go
away. Alternatively, you could make the 'Decline' button function
exactly like the 'Next >>' button, although this would be misleading to
users.
