GNU GPL requires to take positive action (no reference for it now) but
according to the usual practice, I think it would be enough if the check
box would be checked by default and there would be something like don't
proceed if you don't want it (the positive action is pressing Next button).

(If it would be privacy issue or something like that, I would be more
conservative, but this is just fixing operating system defected by design.)
