Create License agreement screen in OSX

I am trying to implement license agreement as shown in the attached image, I can create a new WindowController and design in the same way, but i want to know if we have any default screens in Xcode to do this kind of stuff, as i noticed that most of the apps have similar kind of design. enter image description here

That's a disk mount license agreement. You can embed a license agreement into a DMG disk image, to be displayed with this screen when a user mounts the image.

DMG license agreement

If your application is in example/Example.app, you can create example.dmg, embedding EULA.txt into it as follows:

hdiutil create -srcfolder example/ -volname "Example" "example.dmg"
./eula_into_dmg.sh "example.dmg" "EULA.txt"
# you should also codesign the dmg if you're going to distribute it:
codesign -s "$CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY" -v "$dmg"

This is eula_into_dmg.sh:

#!/bin/bash -u

if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <dmg> <license>"
    exit 1
fi

There is no default UI Element for it, nor is there a well known community option. Best option is to design your own.
