My biggest concern with Bloodhound currently (from a Trac perspective) is the
license incompatibility as it won't be possible to incorporate code from
Bloodhound into Trac (AFAIK all new code will be Apache-licensed).
AFAICT, there's no license incompatibility.
We have a 3-clause BSD license, which is acceptable for Apache, so they
don't need to change the license for the initial code base or for later
updates coming from t.e.o. Indeed, they plan to place only the new code
they'll be writing under ALv2, as Greg Stein wrote in [1].
If we want to take Bloodhound code into Trac, I don't see any problem
either, as the ALv2 explicitly allows redistribution of the code even
under a different license ("You may distribute the result under a
different license, but you need to acknowledge the use of the
Foundation's software", from [2]). So if we do so, we'll just need to
say something like "contains code from Apache Foundation" at some
appropriate place.
