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'
It seems that you failed to read the 2-Clause BSD License before
commenting about it. There is no requirement to put text in binaries.
There is only a requirement to include the license text in
documentation (assuming that the dependent software provides any
documentation).
