Since NVil still has no installer, one has to know where to find the Licence Agreement in order to accept it. You can find it in the help file. But I'll post its content here, I hope that's legally no problem.

As you can see, it's relatively short. I don't know much about the legal talk, but I found it kind of odd, that there's no explicit mention of "you are not allowed to reverse engineer" or "do not sell, rent etc.", although sharing is mentioned as not allowed. So in general it looks and reads quite different to the EULAs I have come across.
I would recommend to put the agreement as a text file into the archives, so it is more accessible and easier to notice.
