I like both of the last corrections you made:

"Fedora: Leading Software Freedom"

The other, "Leading Software Libre" is not bad either, but the first, I 
think, has an implicit empowerment of "freedom", while the later only 
describes the situation of the Software (as "libre" or "free" 
["liberated"])... MY personal opinion, though.
