Look carefully:

    User must abide by these trademark guidelines

A restriction has been added. So far so good. There _are_ trademarked
logos and expressions in some packages.

    when distributing the Software,

Here they say that this restriction also abriges the act of distribution
-> touches Copyright law.

   regardless of whether the Software has been modified.

Here they say that even if the Software has been modified to remove the
trademarks, the restriction still applies.

It probably should say

    User must abide by these trademark guidelines when distributing the
    Software with files containing the "Fedora" trademark.
