FLOSS End-User License Notice

The whole Mozilla/EULA controversy gave me some thought about what FLOSS should have instead of a EULA.

Free, Libre and Open-Source Software End-User License Notice

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

[OK]

Most importantly, it lacks an "I agree" button, under the theory that you only have to agree to the license if you want to redistribute.
