free as in speech AND free as in beer

Fedora information can be found at:
http://fedora.redhat.com/

License info can generally be found here:
http://fedora.redhat.com/licenses/

Specific End User License Agreement for Fedora Core:
http://fedora.redhat.com/licenses/eula.html

There are trademark and other restrictions if you plan on 'repackaging'
for other purposes and or selling it - mostly GNU type restrictions.

But specifically to answer your question, you may install on as many of
your school (or corporate) computers as you wish.
