Would this affect any other DTDs Fedora is shipping? Many of them are

Not AFAIK. The big one, of course, is DocBook, and that's very plainly
freely licensed:
"Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute the DocBook XML DTD
and its accompanying documentation for any purpose and without fee
is hereby granted in perpetuity, provided that the above copyright
notice and this paragraph appear in all copies."

Basically, it's up to each OASIS TC to decide how they want to license
their stuff; and it's up to every would-be Fedora packager to check :)
