Just to be clear on this Luya, the operative clause is that the Free Software Foundation considers this license to be free, and therefore it may indeed be a good choice. I'll run this by the advisory board to see if it's a good choice for Fedora artwork. The cautionary statement at the end simply means that you shouldn't use this license for software or docs, but it doesn't mean that GPL-licensed software can't live happily and comfortably next to FAL-licensed artwork. David, thanks for looking this up. -- Paul W.
