Ok I understand the question, and will try to better explain it to others.

A package by itself has a license, but so does the distribution as a
whole. The Fedora distribution and original Red Hat Linux distribution
were licensed under the GPL v2. Miguel is wondering what license Fermi
is offering the distribution under as this affects how others can use
the distribution, derive child distributions etc from it.
