The reason why BSD-3-Clause-Clear (better known to some of us as ClearBSD) is
not allowed (by default) in Fedora is that it excludes the grant of a patent
license. In this case, what we have is a supplementing of that license with a
patent license in the PATENTS.md file.  The previous conclusion was basically
that the combination of the copyright license and the patent license was
acceptable as an open source license. 

If you think there is a patent issue that is not satisfactorily covered under
the license in the PATENTS file -- for example (this is completely
hypothetical, to be clear) you have specific reason to believe that the package
infringes patent X and you have specific reason to believe the license in the
PATENTS file doesn't extend to patent X -- we can look into that.
