Boost license and Open SourceHi Ezequiel, I am in a similar situation and although I'm not an IP lawyer (I just pay them a lot of money), my understanding is as follows: The Boost license will not allow you to redistribute the Boost source as part of your project and re-assign its license terms. Conceptually, think of Boost as an extension to the standard library and designate it in your documentation as a dependency of your project that must be independently obtained, installed, and configured as part of the process of setting up a build environment compatible with your project. You are then free to distribute your source (sans Boost source) under whatever license you see fit. - Regards Chris
