Documentation is considered "content" in Fedora, see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Code_Vs_Content

That particular section is overdue for rewording, but all content must
meet the minimum requirement of being freely redistributable without
restrictions (upon distribution).

So, while I would strongly encourage upstreams to consider Free
Documentation licenses, it is not a requirement for documentation
inclusion in Fedora.
