[Boost-users] Re: about license

Jonathan Arnold writes:

So if we use boost in our program:

1] If we sell it as a compiled program, we can retain our own license

2] If we sell it to a customer who wants the source code too, we have to use the boost license, and thus the customer is free to give our source code away at that point?

Only the Boost code must use the Boost license; you can put any license terms you wish on your own code. Why would you think otherwise? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
