Side note: you will not gain any friends here by publishing your code under GPL (which could also be the reason why nobody responded to your email so far).

I'm publishing the package manager. Client (GPL-ed) is only a tool. At the moment I'm the only author of client, so it can be relicensed very easily. What do you suggest? Boost license (as we're in this list)? MIT? BSD?

I think for a standalone application its ok to be GPL. But probably you should make the functionality of your package manager available as a library in LGPL/MIT/BSD/boost.

Similar thinking for me: an open source end-user tool is ok to be not -that-open license, but not if it is supposed to be a critical part of the user's infrastructure.
