I believe it would be desirable to have a text field in AERO-ML to specify a
license for the file, and also to have a field for specifying the
sensitivity (secret, classified, proprietary, etc.).

I suppose that the license field could look like this:

license name=GNU GPL/

-or-

license name=GNU GPL
  For more information, see www.gnu.org/gpl
/license

I expect that the sensitivity field would simply be something like:

sensitivity type=proprietary/

-or-

sensitivity type=proprietary
  This file should only be distributed in accordance with company policy
THX1138.
/sensitivity

Comments?

Would there be merit to having an optional subelement to sensitivity, 
such as classification?  This would allow, if sensitivity was 
'classified' to indicate the level of classification (confidential, 
secret, top secret) (at least in the US, that's how this works).

Actually, perhaps classification would be a better element name than
sensitivity. I had thought of sensitivity as serving the purpose you
describe, to cover the level of classification. I prefer simplicity. For
example:

classification type=proprietary/
classification type=top secret/
classification type=public/

Is there a need for more detail?
