  There is no ”cannot”.  License seem fine, it's just a matter of packaging.

  Fedora is a community distribution.  Apparently nobody needed this
non-standard suexec before, therefore nobody packaged it.  The only way
to get custom-suexec into Fedora is by packaging it.  Either by finding
fellow packager or by doing it by yourself:
