Пост с текстом о том, что VLC заменяет обычные кнопки «согласен» и «не согласен» под лицензией GPL на формулировку «теперь вы знаете о своих правах».

EN: A post jokes that VLC replaces the usual “agree” and “disagree” buttons under the GPL license with the phrase “You are now aware of your rights.” In the VLC installer screenshot, this humorous wording appears instead of confirming license acceptance, poking fun at the formal nature of license agreements and user rights.
