On a more serious note, this FAQ (and the one right after) might be
useful for convincing people:

Data that git stores is not strictly "output", but I think the answers
there are relevant. And presumably written or vetted by lawyers, too.

Whoops, I just noticed this is the exact entry from Philip's patch. :-/

Sorry for the noise (and I do think it is a good link to help answer
this question, but I agree with Junio that we can let that FAQ stand on
its own without adding our own amateur-lawyer language to it).
