Well that page only refers to OpenSSL and even then it points out that other

are effectively application level libiraries like libcups, where does it end ?
You could just claim it applies to any widely used library in Fedora, at which
point you're effectively just trying to nullify all licensing rules, whichs is
not acceptable IMHO.
I've bumped this over to the legal mailing list [1].  We'll see what 
their far more knowledgable heads have to say.
