I am far from an expert in this field myself so I don't know whether including it in the text section of the binary would be enough, and the main issue for me is when clients of mine redistribute middleware in their turn as I mentioned in an earlier post. But either way, Richard already cleared this up so there's no more ambiguity on my end.

Kind regards,

Philip

So take the code under the explicit license, then.

In my non-expert opinion, the worry over attribution is bogus.  Restriction 2 
in the 2-clause BSD license just requires that the license text itself be in 
the binary, not that you “attribute” the software in your documentation or in a 
startup banner as is required by some other licenses.

Fossil itself doesn’t bother to do even that:

     $ strings `which fossil` | grep 'IMPLIED WARRANTIES'
