Putting the license text at the top of all headers is not strictly necessary, but not a bad idea.

I am interested in adopting the Boost Software license for an open source C++ library (Castor: http://www.mpprogramming.com/2.html)
[ snip ] - Does this same guideline apply to non boost projects ? The need for stating Boost.org there might confuse some users of non boost prj to think that the library is supplied by Boost. - Do all header files in my prj (which is a pure header library) need to include this text at the top/somewhere in order to adopt the license.
