Hi!

If the design of this software is clearly and significantly based on the design of magit, and magit is GPL-licensed, shouldn't that mean that edamagit should be GPL-licensed too?

The design is inspired but not the code. UI design can't be copyrighted and so doesn't fall under copyleft either. Copyright lasts an extremely long time, much longer than patents, so I'm thankful that one can't copyright design in this way.
