The licenses for ISOs and other stuff that Fedora Project produces is not specified on the download website. It should be prominently visible. I think there should be a short sentence like
Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is a compilation of software packages, each under its own license. Images that can be downloaded here are available under the combination of licenses of the constituent software packages and the license of the Fedora project itself. See [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Licenses/LicenseAgreement#License].
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ is a good example of how this could be done. It has three panes, and the third one is "terms & conditons" and includes an obvious link to a license.
See https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/KJV2LARPPWUTND53YXD3O62UVGJMDN7B/.
It appears something along those lines was added to the getfedora.org page, but there is no link or context to licensing. Or at least that I saw:
getfedora.org

Yeah. "always free for anyone to use modify and distribute" is not enough: we have a very specific license, that actually sets specific conditions, and things are allowed, but only if certain conditions are met.
I created a PR for this here. Please review and let me know of any modifications to be made.
