I heard this objection before, and posed myself once on Slashdot... the 
solution is that the GPL is not enforced through _contract_ law, that 
requires you to understand what you are signing and physically sign, but 
through _copyright_ law. I did not know it, but this is very different, 
because the GPL _grants_ rights, it does not takes them back (as in the EULAs 
of Microsoft and others, whose legality is instead dubious... but they have 
squadrons of lawyers).

Cheers,
-Federico
