Well, many kids want a pony, but ...

I am interested, too, however, the unpleasant truth is, this package has a lot
of issues which _need_ to be resolved before it can go into Fedora.

#1 issue is upstream's apparent carelessness about legal issues
(A simple solution would be them to license their works under GPLv2+ or GPLv3),
#2 issue is this package's apparent immaturity.

> The maps can be on a separate sub-package, will do it on the next review-update
Thanks.

> Can I go ahead with the changes and review?
Certainly. 

The next think you could do is to try working around the legal issues on your
part, by refining your tarball cutting procedure (exclude the android code,
exclude the fonts; If necessary, patch the sources to make them buildable
without these subdirs in place.)
