I think this has been carefully worded so that it does not constitute a
field-of-use restriction. If I'm correct, this is not in itself a
reason why the license is not acceptable to Fedora.
Here's a similar example:
| […] THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE OR RESALE AS
| ON-LINE CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING
| FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES,
| AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL,
| DIRECT LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES, OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS, IN WHICH THE FAILURE
| OF THE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
| SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE ("HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES"). […]
