I'll be the first to declare I am not very versed in the licenses and their sub-types, but the SAFECode FAQ states "All courses are free and published under a Creative Commons license and open, non-commercial usage of the content is encouraged.". Isn't that sufficient?
cheers,

Due to the license being non-free Fedora wouldn't be able to take part.

I think this underlines the problem that I've seen while doing research about this type of training. Most of the works available are not available under a free[0] license. I've already been working to release what I can from within Red Hat into the public arena using the CC-BY-SA license (via Fedora) and I hope to have more coming. I'd like to see more training and information become available under a similar free license.
