Well, I'm not certain, libkml will help. It was only suggested. I also don't know if that is really a bug. I suppose they just made it that way.
Fedora is rather strict on license issues. Libkml includes a third party directory which is tedious to get rid of in the Makefile. These are the trouble makers for Fedora. They may have good licenses. Yes, it's a packager's problem -- nothing else. But this is one of the reasons, we didn't try yet.
