I can answer one of your questions: "This agreement shall be governed by the laws of Czeck Republic. If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect the forcibility of the other portions of this Agreement."

Though, this license is pretty much radioactive for me: "You will not, and will not permit others to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works from this Software..."

Fair enough if you want to use whatever license you want to use, but definitely a "no thanks" from me...

I really like those "no reversing" clauses.

Because they are worth less than the bits used to write them in Poland - only the "distribute derivative works" would be enforceable because that would be blatant copyright violation

This comment isn't worth of HN, (critical, "lol", "...".) Instead, why not focus on something positive?

Amazing. I wouldn't trust this company as far as I can throw them, this contract is a joke.

A closed source git client, that's almost an oxymoron.

No it isn't.

Git kraken, sublime merge, sourcetree. It is pretty common among the most famous ones, just look at the list on wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Git_GUIs
