In my understanding, the copyright does not cover how a font face look,
only the implementation, the "program" (the specific TTF file) -

So implementing something which looks like that font should be OK. Here
is an *ugly* and unpolished start:
http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/artwork/logo/fedora_font.svg (it does not look
extremely bad at small resolutions). With a few days of work it should
be possible to create something acceptable for screen (not print) usage.
