That clause isn't any different from the Bitstream Vera license which
governs DejaVu and a few other fonts in Fedora (even more if you count
other, more recent font licenses which use basically the same clause).
Those licenses have been accepted as Free by the FSF and others and
dropping all those fonts would set back font support in Fedora by several
years.
