 This was a thought mentioned in #43492 originally but it deserves it's own
 ticket at the moment.

 We all know about the lovely 5 minute installation process that WordPress
 provides. I feel like we can create a small placeholder during the
 installation process ( probably on the first page even ) to notify the
 users about GPL license and a text on Policy. Yes the license is included
 in a .txt, but people are more used when installing things to see a
 license / policy during the installation and then continue to the actual
 install.

 I'm not personally thinking about a full blown page with a wall of text
 but rather a discreet placeholder to hold just the right the information
 needed like an excerpt from the GPL and a link refering to the full text
 for the ease of use etc as well as the connection between WordPress and
 wp.org during updates and such as stated on other tickets so we can be
 even more clear and upfront to any given user.

 @melchoyce do you think you could check this as well so we can provide a
 mockup/patch to see how it feels and then we can go forth adding the texts
 needed here as well just in case this could make it to the release also ?
