In the case of the fedora-logos license, the license does not meet
Fedora's free/open criteria. I'm not sure if the license can be seen
as meeting the current criteria for content licenses or, as I would
have thought, is understood to be exceptional because of the special
nature of the package (see: "The one exception is that we permit
content (but only content) which restricts modification as long as
that is the only restriction."
