In the same category: "GitHub has 12 millions users" works rather well.
Who's to say GitHub's business plan isn't to become a copyright troll? :)
On a more serious note, this FAQ (and the one right after) might be
useful for convincing people:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#GPLOutput
I'd added a link to the GPL2 faq version of that, though my link did take
the reader to the contents list item.
The oddball is the templates, which could be argued are full GPL2 (see the
mention of Bison in that same paragraph), and would need a further notice
about their licence terms (given an insistent copyright holder!)
Data that git stores is not strictly "output", but I think the answers
there are relevant. And presumably written or vetted by lawyers, too.
