I am not a legal expert, but as stated here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#SoftwareLicenses , "all software in
Fedora MUST be under licenses in the  Fedora licensing list. This list is based
on the licenses approved by the Free Software Foundation , OSI and consultation
with Red Hat Legal".

Debian packagers raised the same type of concerns about licensing of that
package: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335185 , but they
became eventually fine with the re-worded version of the license.

It is a custom license, and the author does not appear to be ready to switch to
a standard, OSI-approved, license. So, Fedora legal people may not accept that
license. I prefer to let them have a look at it and decide.
