My suggestion is similar with some minor changes:

The goal of the Fedora Project is to to create a complete, general 
purpose operating system based on Linux exclusively from Free and open 
source software.

All software in Fedora must be under licenses in the Fedora licensing 
list [Link]. This list is based on the licenses approved by FSF [Link], 
OSI [Link] and consulting Red Hat Legal.
