Note that Debian believes this is sufficiently free, because they have
no requirement that software be redistributable for profit on its own,
only as part of their distribution (as I understand it).  See the
thread at
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-legal@lists.debian.org/msg28746.html

I honestly do not know what Fedora's position is on this, but it is
possible to use the Bistream Vera license (which has a similar "don't
sell it by itself" clause) as an example.  It's a font, however, and
that may make it special somehow.  Note that this question of software
that can't be sold by itself comes up more often than you'd think.
