Anything is possible. But it seems like copyright owners are satisfied if
someone accepts the eula on the system where it's used. Arguably, if this isn't
enough it should be part of the application (which of course doesn't make sense
for fonts...)

That said, I think the way described by Nicholas is the correct one: guide user
while she downloads, builds and installs the package as usual, with the normal
checking of root permissions when installing.
