Hello All!
I'm dealing with the code which is licensed under the following terms:

=================================

  freely, subject to the following restrictions:

  1. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not
     claim that you wrote the original software. If you use this software
     in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation would be

=================================

I've got two questions:

* Is this license OK for Fedora?
* If yes, can it be used in GPLv2+ licensed application?

With best regards, Peter Lemenkov.
