What do we mean by SCM?
It seems to be that "software configuration management" should be about configuring a program, whereas "source code management" should be about managing source code.
Which is Fossil?

They really do mean source control. Just that it doesn't have to be source code. It can be any "configuration item". Just like with git or svn or mercurial or zipping-directories-and-uploading-them-to-a-network-share.
Personally, I like "version control" for that reason. It just removes the subject of the operation from the name entirely.
