The preamble, clauses 2-5 and the disclaimer appear to be equivalent to BSD-3-Clause (haven't compared whether identical, but roughly the same).

Clause 1 seems kind of meaningless, but fine.

Clause 0 is the only one that gives me pause. It appears to suggest that something could be licensed under this license but also separately marked as "not for redistribution", and then prohibited for redistribution. Is that the intent here?

Given that it's approved for use in Fedora, I'm assuming that whatever software is used in Fedora doesn't have this "not for redistribution" tag.

Clause 0 is a bit odd, but given its use in Fedora I'm cautiously a +1 to add this to the license list.
