Fedora Project has no such policy. We translate legal notices like GPL
notice in About dialogs, as every other FLOSS project do. This FAQ entry
might be misleading, because it not defines "legal notice", which I
believe in this case is actually just [1] and nothing more.

I'm sorry for any possible confusion.
