license of our products on getfedora.org

Hi,

I was trying to answer the question "How is the license of Fedora as a
whole advertised?" (e.g. in the sense of what can I do with an ISO image
I download from https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/).
Do we specify how the whole collection is licensed anywhere?

For example, we say "Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify,
and distribute. It is built and used by people across the globe who
work together as a community: the Fedora Project." [1]
This is hardly a license, and could be even considered misleading, since
the ISO includes various components that have licenses with pretty strong
restrictions (GPLv2, GPLv3), so not all kinds of "modify and distribute"
options are legal. Am I missing something obvious here?
