While looking at a different review ticket, I found the relevant part of
guidelines in the FAQ:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#What_is_.22effective_license.22_and_do_I_need_to_know_that_for_the_License:_tag.3F
It seems to match what I said above, but it's always good to have an
authoritative source.
