RE: Patchou - Optional Sponsor Program.
The option that says "I refuse, do not install the sponsor program" (word for word) makes it look like it'll prevent installation if you click it, & since that'll stop most people clicking on it, they'll never find out that you can in fact install without LOP (the sponsor).
It'd be better if it said "I refuse, install Plus! without the sponsor program." This would help prevent confusion. As has been mentioned, people don't read license agreements, & so it is their own fault to a large degree if they don't want LOP & they get it, but when you see something that looks like it says you have to choose yes, you'll generally choose yes if you want Plus!.
Also, the sponsor license itself (which is the only one, so it looks at a glance like the one for Plus!) contains "IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT AND THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE." in it's preface, before it defines the "SOFTWARE" as being LOP, rather than Plus!
It's fine that it's there, but I really do reckon it should be clearer.
