I would like to get a confirmation from someone that this is OK in
Fedora before accepting the package.
Documentation is considered "content" in Fedora, see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Code_Vs_Content
That particular section is overdue for rewording, but all content must
meet the minimum requirement of being freely redistributable without
restrictions (upon distribution).
So, while I would strongly encourage upstreams to consider Free
Documentation licenses, it is not a requirement for documentation
inclusion in Fedora.
