what will require next – maybe a quiz asking questions about the license
before you can proceed?
I've actually seen that -- on the next page, it asked something like "what
was the magic word" where "the magic word is xyzzy" was buried somewhere in
the EULA. Unsurprisingly, it does not endear yourself to users, and
annoying your new customers (or potential customers, for trialware) is not
a great choice.
I have seen this sort of thing before (where you are required to scroll all
the way through before confirming).
The default IS license page tells the user to read the agreement and that
the user must accept the license terms by choosing the "I accept the
agreement" option before the installer will continue. IANAL, but it seems
to me that if the user selects the "I accept the agreement" option, they
are bound by the agreement even if they didn't read it. In addition, don't
forget about silent (hands-free) installation: You have to make clear to
users that they are implicitly accepting the license if they install
silently.

VirtualBox extension pack has that: you need to scroll until the end to get
"agree" button enabled and be able to continue installation on host.
