For the most part in applying its license policy Fedora has to assume that any license is potentially enforceable. I.e., there really is no such thing as a "joke" license. As for how to convince upstream, I can't help with that. At one time Linux distribution licensing policy would have had a lot of influence on upstream behavior, but I think that is much less true today.
