Fedora is not officially supported and not fully qualified on Fedora, but as MATLAB system requirements says, other distributions with kernel version 2.6 or later and glibc version 2.12 or later can successfully run MathWorks products, but MathWorks will be in a limited position to provide technical support for those distributions.
Also, this answer says "MATLAB is tested and fully qualified on Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and SuSE. However, it will still run on most popular distributions of Linux, provided it is a full desktop installation of the distribution. MATLAB is not supported on minimal or server distributions. A minimal installation may not contain all libraries that MATLAB requires."
