What about code that complies with the specification? Is it
permissible to distribute the same within the Fedora distribution?
The license says:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Specification” shall not include (i)
the implementation of other published specifications referenced in
this Specification;
And since all of the license terms apply to the "Specification", any
code written in compliance with this specification is not affected by
this license.
Or, to put it simply, this license only applies to the Specification, so
even though it is non-free, it has no effect on code. Code will be under
independent licensing, which will have to be judged independently.
