I was confused. It was another license that was non-free (LDPv1). This is fine for Fedora too. I don't want to force anyone to change the license; if you like it, we'll keep it. However, since I don't think there's much significant difference between those two licenses above, and the more widely used Linux-man-pages-copyleft, if you just chose the license randomly back then, it might be good to reduce the quantity of licenses that we use in the project. So, given this, if you give consent to change your pages to use Linux-man-pages-copyleft, I'll do so provided for the pages that are completely yours, and will keep in mind that when others agree, I'll also change the pages that are shared. If you don't, then everything is fine.
