I asked to legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and spot replies this licence is not ok: "Unfortunately, it is a problem. Even under the less restrictive licensing requirements for content, this license is not good. In Fedora, we require that all content be "Freely Redistributable without restriction". The restrictions on selling or "copying the entire webpage" mean that the brushes (or derived artwork containing the brushes) are not acceptable in Fedora. You might ask the author of those brushes if he would be willing to let you use them under different licensing terms, perhaps under the Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY): http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ " I notified Samuele to ask to change this licence or change brushes.
