I had to email the sysadmin to try to agree to this licence on my behalf (not that I actually would agree to it myself if I had the perms). So fucking 1984, Apple.

Why does GCC ask you to agree to the license of another product. And is this behaviour/license compatible with the GPL?

IIRC something to do with a library it's linked to. I'd check but.. the ootool to list linked libraries requires same license agreement.
