RE: Something has to be done
I agree that the Sponsor Installation should remain in the Installer. I say again - Keep the sponsor.
I think the biggest problem is because of using words like "I agree" or "I accept". Perhaps the first option should read something like the following
"Install the optional Sponsor program with Messenger Plus!"
or
"Include the optional Sponsor program with the Messenger Plus! Installation"
I think when people see "I agree" or "I accept" it is a trigger for them. They say "Oh I have to click that or else I can't install it". This is why I suggest a change in the wording of the sponsor agreement.
Let me say one last time that Patchou should keep the sponsor program. Everyone agrees that he needs to earn a living, and this provides him with at least one source of Income to justify continued work on Messenger Plus!, ignoring the fact that he enjoys working on this. Without this source of income, I beleive it is likely that he would be personally compelled to spend significantly less time on Messenger Plus!.
Also I wanted to say that I would not have even bothered to say anything, had it not been for this thread.
Anyway, that is my 2 cents.
