Artistic 1.0 is non-free and not permissable in Fedora. However, that's not
really relevant.

Keep in mind, the note is not part of the license, it is the uninformed guess
of a later contributor. The original license says:

(1) It may not be sold at a profit.

The fact that there is the exception of "This software may be distributed with
other software by a commercial vendor, provided that it is included at no
additional charge.", and that Red Hat might meet that exception doesn't matter.
It is still a use restriction, which would prevent a random individual (not a
"commercial vendor") from burning Fedora DVDs and selling them on ebay

Nothing else that comes later can affect that, except for the original
copyright holder of code under that license (which is why we're trying to reach
him).
