I don't see why not. Also in recent releases of Fedora the LICENSE file installed by the fedora-release package actually contains the text of the MIT license with 'Copyright <YEAR> Fedora Project Authors', which I'd forgotten about until a few minutes ago. That is supposed to cover the Fedora compilation and explicitly "does not supersede the licenses of code and content contained in Fedora" (see Fedora-Legal-README.txt, which goes on to reference the legal guidelines in the wiki). The choice of the MIT license there was influenced by the earlier use of the MIT license in the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement, I suppose. BTW the example in the wiki isn't random, but was taken from Expat, which I believe was one of the oldest projects to use the precise wording of what's now called the MIT license in the strictest sense.
