Not AFAIK. The big one, of course, is DocBook, and that's very
plainly freely licensed:
"Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute the DocBook XML DTD
and its accompanying documentation for any purpose and without fee
is hereby granted in perpetuity, provided that the above copyright
notice and this paragraph appear in all copies."
http://docbook.org/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd
Basically, it's up to each OASIS TC to decide how they want to
license their stuff; and it's up to every would-be Fedora packager
to check :)
Thanks Rudi.
