Even if those restrictions apply automatically, I still think it is polite to inform you of them.

Kovid, honestly... Demanding explicit agreement regardelss of whether someone will be distributing or not is not really polite (more like police or GPL nazi) and showing first few lines of some long legal mumbo jumbo long text is not really "informing". No one will scroll to read it anyway.
If you really wanted and inform and be polite have the first page of the setup wizard display something human readable like this (please bear with my english and see the spirit instead of letter):
"This is FREE software. Yet it is distributed under a license that puts some limitations on the way you can distribute it. If you plan on distributing this software in any form you really should read the license text which can be found in About box"
Below there would be just button "Proceed"

Imagine you and i were neighbours and you came to my place and i asked you to install Calibre for me on my PC. Would you say "sure Konstantin, but only after you read this GPL license first and put a check mark in that "I agree" check box and click on "I agree" here with your own hand. After that i will do the rest"
