Not so.
The GPL has nothing to say about using code. It's all about giving
permission to copy the code.
Since the default case in copyright law is you can't copy the code[1],
you need to get permission if you want to copy, which is what the GPL
grants.
If you don't agree to the GPL, then you revert back to the default
case - ie. you can't copy.
Thus no "EULA" is required.
Anyway, this is extremely off-topic for caml-list.
Rich.
[1] Except under extremely limited cases of fair dealing / fair use,
and possibly being allowed to make a private back-up copy in some
locales.
