IANAL and/or Fedora Legal authority, but the requirement to notify
authors (paragraph 5/b) of redistribution of the modified software
makes it non-free in my eyes, as per FSF's definition.

Anyone, feel free to correct me.

I assumed that as well but needed to confirm anyway

I was waiting on RH Legal here, but I think it is safe for me to say
that clause 5b makes it non-free.

I expected as much.   This is a old but still quite popular library used 
in several universities that have a introductory course to programming 
using Java.  If you are interested, please do get in touch with them and 
they might be amenable to a change in the license
