OK...

Katello is GPLV2, and Aeolus is ASL. It would be nice to make it easy to 
share code, and we know Apache is kinda a big bully around their fancy 
license. We can not move to GPLV3 (like Foreman) since that is no better 
[1]. Couple of options:

1) Katello can switch to either ASL, or MIT.
2) Katello could dual license current and ASL/MIT
3) Do nothing

I dont think we need to worry about any of the backend projects, just 
the rails parts.
