I asked to legal at fedoraproject.org and spot replies this licence is not
ok:

"Unfortunately, it is a problem. Even under the less restrictive
licensing requirements for content, this license is not good. In Fedora,
we require that all content be "Freely Redistributable without
restriction". The restrictions on selling or "copying the entire
webpage" mean that the brushes (or derived artwork containing the
brushes) are not acceptable in Fedora.

You might ask the author of those brushes if he would be willing to let
you use them under different licensing terms, perhaps under the Creative
Commons Attribution license (CC-BY):
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
"

I notified Samuele to ask to change this licence or change brushes.

Cheers
Luca
