as discussed on #1030 (comment), we will try to ping the original authors (using git blame) and perhaps the tools developers so that they can have a chance to respond

fixes #381

git blame is not very useful due to b9b5595, had to check the file history (https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/commits/master/app/views/downloads/guis/index.html.haml) .

guis (from https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis):

some guis have missing authors because it were imported by Scott at the beginning.

I think I will just make them a mention in the next comment, asking for a review

Hey,

As many of you may know, the git-scm website lists many git GUI tools under https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

As discussed in #381 , we pretend to add license information to the listed GUI tools. @alpreu made an awesome contribution by gathering the data in this PR. We thought you guys may wanted to have a look before merging this.

Let us know if any question arises! :)

Looks good, thanks!

I decided to email/slack/irc a few to try getting faster answers. On one side it's a problem because it's not public info (it's on my email, maybe I should have cc git mailing list...), on the other side, I think there's no big problem. If someone eventually disagrees, it just needs to raise an issue/PR and we will take of it quickly

Cycligent Git Tool developer here - LGTM!

Gitg looks good to me

Tower Team here: Great PR & Info is fine - Thanks!

Thanks for putting together the table, @pedrorijo91. For the last few that don't have a reviewed entry, it's pretty easy to turn up their licenses:

• git-cola: https://git-cola.github.io/license.html
• gitextensions: https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/blob/master/LICENSE.md
• giggle: https://github.com/GNOME/giggle/blob/master/COPYING
• smartgit: https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/license.html
• sourcetree: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/is-sourcetree-free/qaq-p/425664
• aurees: https://aurees.com/legal/license-agreement
• gitX-dev: https://github.com/rowanj/gitx/blob/master/COPYING

all of which match the contents of the PR. So I think we are good here. Thanks everyone for your responses!
