Yup, this is what I would prefer. If nothing has changed since the  
original
license that I agreed on, then I am not sure why I should be agreeing to
what I already agreed to. On the other hand it is nice to know if the  
license
changed.

One thing I was wondering is whether a link to a FAQ on the GPL would
be handy. My internet connection is playing up, so I can't use Google
to see if something that already exists. The idea here is the for the  
non
lawyers amongst us (pretty much all of us), it could be useful.
