With a terminology stress which (to me) twists the meaning of "free software" it could be classified as "non-copylefted free software" (which basically means, anyone can redistribute it under a non free license; in the case of boost they can do that only if they don't redistribute the source code)

So if you use boost in your interfaces, you've gotta redistribute your source code too?
