I disagree and I am very much in favor of removing this checkbox. As it 
follows the same pattern as any "I agree to this license checkbox" users will 
instincively just click it away. This is of course just on opinion but 
personally I never even noticed what is in that text window. My personal user 
experience is:
 - Uh installation done. Let's close this dialog.
 -> I can't close it. Mmh do I have to do something else?
 - Ah there is a checkbox. Let me click it.
 -> Now I can close the dialog.

If you insist on trying to force that information on the user it would be much 
better to open it in a different Window because then it would not fall into 
the same pattern as license texts in installers that users are trained to 
click away.

Regards,
Andre
