Scott James code was motivation to start the project. But if you
compare the two code lot of changes are done. Infact only thing that
remain now is how i draw using the cairo which is also modified a bit.

This is the COPYING file that scott had in bzrk project.

But gitview is quiet different from bzrk. I just wanted to add it to
the code that i started with bzrk code.

IANAL but AFAIK even if the code is quite different by now, if you
_started_ with bzrk code the copyright of the original author is still
lurking inside your code - it's basically a continuous series of
directly derived works.

OTOH, what am I not getting? The bzrk's license seems to be GPLv2, our
license seems to be GPLv2, ...

Correct. That way i guess we can add the code the way i sent. In any
case i am marking this mail to scott. So if  he has anything to add he
can let us know
