 From <http://www.gitboxapp.com/faq.html#gpl>:

"The application package contains a compiled official version 1.7.3.2  
of the Git content tracker. Gitbox neither links (statically or  
dynamically) against Git nor uses custom interfaces to interact with  
it. Git binaries are provided for your convenience only. You can  
replace  bundled binaries with any compatible build of the current  
version of Git or newer."

That appears to comply with both the letter and spirit of the GPL.
