accept the GPL on software install?

Gunnar wrote that he recently had to explicitly accept the GPL via some dialog box when doing an OpenOffice installation on windows and users are also prompted with the license agreement on the first start of the application.

Why should someone want this?
Are you also FREE to refuse this and still use the software? I mean the GPL is about distributing the software, not using it, so wtf?
