I think that Kovid's position is 100% correct despite the shade tree lawyering by some. Checking accept is a way of making clear to the potential user that they have certain obligations, and that they are binding obligations. It is a way of making them think about them, so that no one can modify the software and then say, "Well, gee, I didn't know."
