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,

Will talk about licensing. Is there a definitive "Why ASL is better? Or
is it just because Apache are bullies? Perhaps katello should just go MIT?
On notifications, the other thing I would like to see (ideally a shared
service) is the ability to send email notificaitons out to one or more
users based on events. I would assume templating, batching, and some
sort of data injection. We have that on the errata side (jomara is
looking at it). Perhaps we can have folks co-develop that part too.
