But Fossil is not GPL. It would make perfect sense to link it wherever you'd like. For Git, it seems that it's primary implementation is a bit too messy for most big projects, so they simply reimplement it. Eclipse's implementation is called JGit. And it does provide a reasonably stable Java API, used by a few projects. On the other hand, Fossil's implementation is (apart from the regular forking) quite nice. I'd bet you a beer that once the JSON API is finished (in my already outlined understanding), it will be used by some useful projects.
