Some of them such as Stix should not be used anymore

Others like GUST are sort of ok in an evil way, but GUST people tend to
make very bad licensing choices so I'd audit carefully anything with a
GUST-originated license.

GPLv2+FE & LGPL are good too even if GPLv3+FE is probably the better
choice nowadays.

For a list of licenses Fedora cleared (even if we do not like at all many
of them), see
