Well fortunately Smashwords includes kindle format, so you dont need to go through amazon to make your stuff available on kindle. You can make print books on lulu as well, and distribute them through amazon. not sure if it's a way to circumvent amazon's anal handling of the licenses, but it might be worth a shot.
