IMO, this would just be unnecessarily making the guidelines longer than
they need to be, only to state the obvious.
Anyway, there are hints that the EULA itself may not be necessary and
could be removed; let's see if that pans out first. If the EULA is not
removed from the installer and the general sentiment (among the devs) is
that it is necessary to add this, then it can be done.
