Well, I had a lot of legal text prepared for copr, I'm not sure why
Bohuslav didn't end up using it. Specifically relevant to your concern,
the rules for materials in Coprs are:

*****

You agree not to use Coprs to upload software code or other material
("Material") that:

  a. you do not have the right to upload or use, such as Material that
     infringes the rights of any third party under intellectual
     property or other applicable laws;

  b. is governed in whole or in part by a license not contained in the
     list of acceptable licenses for Fedora, currently located at
     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing, as that list may be
     revised from time to time by the Fedora Project Board;

  c. is categorized as a "Forbidden Item" at
     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items,
     as that page may be revised from time to time by the Fedora
     Project Board;

  d. is designed to interfere with, disable, overburden, damage,
     impair or disrupt Coprs or Fedora Project infrastructure;

  e. violates any rules or guidelines of the Fedora Project; or

  f. violates any applicable laws and regulations.
