Coming back to this specific question, after consulting with RH Legal
and the FSF, the FSF reached out to IguanaWorks and had them reword
their license to clearly separate their contribution policy from their
copyright license.

See:
http://iguanaworks.net/projects/IguanaIR/wiki/license

With that change, it is clearly GPLv2, and acceptable for Fedora.

(Also, FWIW, there was consensus that their automatic copyright
assignment logic was invalid, but that is irrelevant to the
acceptability of the software license.)
