My suggestion is similar with some minor changes:
The goal of the Fedora Project is to to create a complete, general
purpose operating system based on Linux exclusively from Free and open
source software.
All software in Fedora must be under licenses in the Fedora licensing
list [Link]. This list is based on the licenses approved by FSF [Link],
OSI [Link] and consulting Red Hat Legal.
