I think so. Seems to be associated with this issue:
https://pagure.io/fedora-web/websites/issue/215

I'm not sure why it's that important to say this, but I guess it's
mostly worded okay, except that "the license of the Fedora project
itself" should be reworded since there is no license of the Fedora
project itself (in my view, anyway). There is a collective work
license -- the MIT license -- but I don't see that much value in
placing any emphasis on that. But if that is going to be referred to,
it should be "the license of the Fedora distribution itself", not the
more ambiguous "the license of the Fedora project itself".
