So, given that Fedora has two classes of licensing (Code and Content)
and that these CaCert.org root certs would safely fall into the Content
category, we really only need permission to copy and redistribute the
root certs without restriction. We don't need the right to modify them.

I'm not sure how their private keys come into this, are they
distributing them for some odd reason?
