I wouldn't think so. Legal clears up unclear licensing. The software
here (SPM for example) is clearly under an Open source license. We do
not consider non free software at all.
You can get in touch with legal by e-mailing them on their mailing list
(
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Discussion_of_...)
or blocking the "FE-Legal" blocker bug if on a bugzilla review ticket
(

I already sent a question to legal(a)fp.o regarding the issues in this
thread. It seems to be stuck in moderation.
