I don't think US copyright law has anything to do with the matter. EULA is a sort of contract, so by agreeing to it, Roozbeh can't use fedora legally.
That's only true if Iranian law recognizes the EULA, which I imagine would have something to do with recognition of US copyright law. Maybe the two are completely separate. I'm not an Iranian lawyer so I can't say for certain.
You are probably right - only Iranian contract law defines whether the EULA is valid in Iran. Still, I don't think recognition of US copyright law has anything to do with it. But I'm neither Iranian nor American lawyer (and neither Iranian nor American at all :)
My point is that this question can't be answered based on the GPL or any other contract based on US copyright law. These documents most likely have no legal force in Iran. What's legal for Roozbeh is defined entirely by the Iranian legal system.
