Yes. The idea is that "sensitivity" - or perhaps more appropriately,
"classification" - would apply to the model itself, not the resources that
the model was derived from.

I think that at least for the "license" element it might be appropriate. One
can list the license type as being "unlicensed", or "GPL", or some other
unique license. But it is probably a good thing to list where that license
is published, either online or an address where the license could be
obtained. I don't know whether that location should be element content or an
attribute.

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:





Is there a need for more detail?

I believe it would be desirable to have a text field in AERO-ML to specify a

I suppose that the license field could look like this:

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

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).
