Hi there,

I noticed that the Boost license is not listed as an OSI approved license (see here: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical ). Why is this ?

The license seems to nicely comply with the Open Source definition, from what I can see (see http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd).

http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/ lists it as GPL-compatible.

See http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++.moderated/msg/643e5618c0f7574e Also this thread: http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c46F85E80.3090302%40gatech.... It doesn't seem very promising... :( -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
