I see that you fedora guys have had a long discussion about the exception to the GPL we added to libzdb. As the package maintainer for fedora you should know that we have added the following changes in the upcoming 2.5 version of libzdb:
* Removed GPL license exceptions. The library is now licensed under the GPL, version 3 only. The orginal intent behind the exception was to make it possible to link and distribute the library or modifications thereof with other open source programs not licensed under the GPL. However, the exception seemed to be more confusing than clarifying for some and to remove any legal fog around the licensing of libzdb it is now GPLv3 only.
