Tom "spot" Callaway (Fedora's licence guy) has a similar take:

It really doesn't affect our stance on Mono at all. Microsoft is "covering" less than OIN does for us, and it doesn't go anywhere near the areas we currently stay away from (Silverlight/Moonlight). Full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing.

When he says it doesn't change Fedora's position at all, he means that Fedora already ship Mono. They were happy with the legal situation even before this announcement, and this announcement doesn't change anything. Fedora refuses to ship Moonlight (for not very good reasons IMHO) and it is not covered by this announcement, so they are going to continue with that policy.
