Several links to other sections are broken. All five links under
"Licensing in Fedora" should point to other pages instead of
non-existent sections of the same page. Several links on
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/ contain two
fragment identifiers. There can only be one. I haven't searched the
other pages for similar errors.

Does that also apply to licenses that explicitly say how they may be
combined? Are we supposed to write "GPL-3.0-or-later AND
GPL-2.0-or-later AND LGPL-3.0-or-later AND GPL-3.0-only" or do those
still combine into GPL-3.0-only?
