Hi Paul, I agree that the license may be problematic.  I think everything 
about the license is OK (doesn't voilate any Fedora guidelines) except the 
part about advertising:

  "3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this 
      software must display the following acknowledgement:
      This product includes software developed by Systemics Ltd 
      (http://www.systemics.com/)"

which is annoying.  The key question seems to be: would simply listing 
this package in a Fedora Extras repository constitute "advertisement" 
and thus trigger the clause above?  I think not, but IANAL.  Or would 
listing this package as part of a Fedora release notes trigger the 
clause?  Maybe or maybe not.

This really ought to be reviewed by Fedora legal or perhaps the SC.  
Could you please contact them?
