Thanks Michael, you comments were very valuable.

The package is licensed under GPLv3+ OR GPLv3 + exceptions.  Since the
exceptions have not been evaluated for being Fedora compatible, wouldn't we
just take the OR clause and distribute it under the GPLv3?

Also, if you read: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ, 3rd question,
it says "look at the source" and the source is licensed GPLv3+.  It also says
"COPYING [or in this case EXCEPTIONS] does not signal licensing intent (it
might not seem intuitive, but this is what Red Hat legal told us, and we're
going by that)."

And, then there is also this under "Multiple licensing situations":
The source code in my package is dual licensed, but one of the licenses is a
proprietary license (the other is GPLv2+). You do not need to list the
proprietary license in the License tag, so it should read: License: GPLv2+
