Yeah this is actually a good thing to bring up.

Aeolus moved to the Apache license from GPL v2+about 18 months ago for various
reasons -- Deltacloud is an Apache project, ASL seems more
familiar/comfortable to the Ruby world, etc.

If Katello upstream and associated projects are interested, I think it
would be beneficial to have everyone on the Apache license (and
obviously also make code sharing a bit simpler). Given that we can
always ask Katello to dual-license code we want to share between
projects, it's not that big of a deal either way.

Take care,
