Umm. I consider it to be UNACCEPTABLY STUPID to claim "courtesy" if it 
actually makes something just more irritating to users.

I absolutely detest clicking through EULA's or other self-serving crap. I 
hate software that bothers me with their license details. Nobody reads 
those things anyway, and an extra click or an extra window I didn't ask 
for - _especially_ in open source software - is just a bug.

Bugs aren't "courtesy". Not to the user, and certainly not to the 
developer.
