jQuery, the javascript framework used with Aloha is dual licensed
under MIT and GPL.

I know BSD is more familiar to the Apache people here. But as Aloha is
something that runs entirely in the browser and only interfaces with
your CMS through some REST APIs, will license compatibility really
matter?

As I wrote on the Semantic Editor page, the main deal with licensing
for our editor is to fit in the licensing scheme of the javascript
ecosystem it builds on, not particularly target some server-side
conventions like ASF.
