CAcert.org license

Hi,

For the following review :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474549

I would need to know if the "Non Related Persons Disclaimer and
Licence" under which the CAcert root certificates files are is
acceptable for Fedora or not. Full text here :
http://www.cacert.org/policy/NRPDisclaimerAndLicence.php

What I see is that it only really applies to liability, and doesn't
cover modifications since those wouldn't make much sense. What does
bother me somewhat is the last part of the "License" section : "You may
NOT distribute certificates or root keys under this licence, nor make
representation about them." as well as the fact that liability might be
transferred to the Fedora Project if the certificates are shipped in
the distribution.

IANAL and I found nothing relevant in the "Licensing" wiki page, which
is why I'm posting here.

Matthias
