Hey,
we like to use some of the smart pointer stuff in Liquid (liquidmaya.sf.net). However, we like to avoid a boost dependency as that stuff is just headers. We were thus wondering if there were any problems if we included the resp. headers with the Liquid source. Liquid is released under the MPL. Rather surprisingly, none of us liquid developers has a background in law. :> Hence we are unsure if the boost license permits distributing the headers.
Yes, you can redistribute only the headers you need.
I guess if we added the boost license and stated that those headers lived under that license that might be ok?
Add the Boost license file to the distribution as the license mentions.
Or does the license not permit to distribute any part of boost but only the whole shebang?
You can distribute any part you like.
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this!
Your welcome...usual disclaimers apply about not being a lawyer apply, but there's no doubt that the intent of the Boost license is to allow for redistribution of part or whole. Jeff
