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.
Thanks Jeff. Issue for the future: inasmuch as we moderators really shouldn't be answering legal questions like this one, I'd like very much to know why these answers aren't clear from http://boost.org/more/license_info.html. IMO, just to be on the safe side, we should always point people at that page, and if they are still asking questions, we should point them at a lawyer. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
