The problem is that the license of the KPL (the Amazon Software License) is not compatible with the Apache Software License, therefore, projects at Apache can not depend on such code. We will not release the Flink kinesis connector with the next Flink release for that reason (unless we somehow fix this issue). Are you working at Amazon? If so, can you contact me at robert (at) data-artisans.com ?
