How does the license for using Fedora work?
From the beginning of the Fedora project, the Fedora software has been provided under an open-source license that was intended to make it as easy as possible for the code to be used both for non-profit and commercial applications. As our understanding of the legal implications licensing have improved, we have changed the license. Our philosophy is that we will make Fedora as easily available as we can while retaining copyright and making sure not to compromise ourselves legally. As of version 3.0 Fedora is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. For details, see license and copyright information.
