Re: GPL v2 authoritative answer on stored code as a derived work

It's pretty clear that code stored in a Git repository isn't
considered a derived work of Git, regardless of whether it is used
in a commercial context or otherwise.

However, I'm unable to find this stated in any authoritative and
unambiguous manner.

Is it reasonable to ask for such a statement?  I doubt it,
especially if "It's pretty clear".

Without such a statement, I think we have already seen that the
commercial adoption is already appealing.
