This clause is a lot more broad. It's as if LaTeX required you to quote a paper on LaTeX in each and every paper you write with it, or if the GIMP required you to quote a paper next to any picture you edit using it.While I don't have any decisive power whatsoever on Fedora, I'd really urge those who do to at least get this issue reviewed (maybe ask the FSF?) before issueing a blanket "it's OK", because I believe this to be a serious issue and a worrying precedent.Kevin Kofler
+1, its unfurtonate, but this license is not free, as very clearly explained by Kevin. Perhaps upstream can be nudged into changing the license?
