I didnt know this, Fedora's objective is, to make proprietary software installation difficult. If this is, then I am sorry for the mail, I dont have anything to say.

But as far as I know, this is not the Fedora's objective as refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview.

However, thanks to Thorsten Leemhuis, for his wonderful reply. Thanks for the good news. Atleast I can hope, soon we will get good solutions of this issues.

I am going to join RPM Fusion list.

Thanks again.

That's a KPackageKit bug. It needs to be fixed in KPackageKit, not hacked
around.

As for your other suggestions:
* No, Fedora will not make it easier to install proprietary software, it's
against Fedora's objectives. You should NOT install that proprietary
software.
* No, Fedora will not make it easier to install software which violates US
software patents as that would make it a target for lawsuits.
* You're not the first one to make these suggestions. Parroting them like a
broken record isn't going to change any of the above. Sorry.
