Oh! I should have explained that a bit more. So, if someone does artwork
from scratch / with all their own materials or appropriately-licensed
source images, it legally (I wouldn't like it though) would be okay for
it to be licensed ND and be a Fedora wallpaper.
However, ND == no derivatives. Samuele's wallpaper is a derivate of the
images he is using. ND is a non-starter for any artwork that is != the
source image.
