The reasoning appears to be that some party might claim that an individual developer, perhaps unknowingly, submitted code that rightfully belongs to his employer. the employer would then sue anyone who has ever incorporated the affected Boost library into their own products.

Of course there are many other scenarios, but in the above scenario, it was the employEE's fault, thus the employER's fault, thus they can't go around suing everyone. [Nat] I love the way you think. :-) Thanks.
