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. I guess if we added the boost license and stated that those headers lived under that license that might be ok? Or does the license not permit to distribute any part of boost but only the whole shebang?
Not only can you do it, but we have a tool called bcp for automatically extracting the subset that you need from the boost tree (see http://www.boost.org/tools/bcp/bcp.html). John.
