Description Petr Jiricka 2007-08-20 13:56:36 UTC 
Steps to reproduce the same as in issue 113193, then:
7. Click Next. Step with licenses is displayed.

The combo box in this dialog displays all low level modules that are not visible anywhere in the Plugins dialog, e.g.
"J2EE DD API". As these are low level implementation artifacts, the user should not be asked to review the licenses for
these fine grained components. Rather, licenses should be shown at a higher level, at least on a
license-per-installable-component basis (or even more coarse grained). The current state is almost as if the user were
asked to read a license for each Java file.

Filing as a usability defect.
