My employer's legal department has just stated that we may not use Boost for product development because of a hypothetical lawsuit risk. The reasoning appears to be that some party might rise up and claim that parts of one or more Boost libraries actually belong to it
Devin Smith, the lawyer who wrote the Boost Software License, anticipated these issues; see "Benefit of Common Software License" in: http://www.boost.org/more/license_info.html where he also mentions a possible way to address the problem. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
