Because that's the only license you have to use git.
I think his point is that you don't need to "accept" anything to be
allowed to use GPLed software. Presenting the GPL as a click-through
licence on installation implies that you should read it carefully to
see what limits are imposed on you, when in fact the GPL explicitly
allows you to "run the program, for any purpose" (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
).
Get over it, or use another SCM,
