Huh? LL allows that by their "GPL exception". 

LL as the copyright holder is free to dictate their terms, including "GPL, 
with these exceptions".

That's a bit overdramatic, it wouldn't.

KDU isn't necessary, OpenJPEG already works. Fmod isn't strictly necessary

Linux version it'll have neither KDU, nor Fmod.
