This license was recently determined to be not allowed:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/69
As noted there, a similar Unicode license was treated as "good" in the
past, for unclear reasons, and I speculated that this UTF conversion
code probably appeared in a number of Fedora packages. You are welcome
to submit an issue about this at fedora-license-data. The best result
here, long term at least, would be to either get the upstream to
replace this code with something under a FOSS license or to see
whether a more recent FOSS Unicode license might cover the same code
(which might require finding someone at the Unicode Consortium).
I know the General Counsel at the Unicode Consortium, Anne Gundelfinger, I'd be happy to make an introduction if you like. Many, many years ago she was the trademark lawyer for Intel.
