Well, of course Boost isn't the only library using the Boost Software License. And, are they distributing the sources? Otherwise I don't see why reproducing the license.
I haven't seen the Boost License being used outside of Boost, although certainly the license can be applied to any open source software. Since the Boost license is similar to the BSD style license, it is likely that an open source project would choose one of the more popular BSD or MIT style licenses.
If you look at zlib - some of the "third party" portions are licensed under different licenses than zlib; including at least one piece that is licensed under the BSL 1.0. Look in contrib/dotzlib. -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software mailto:marshall@idio.com It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
