If I understand it correctly, the copied boost code is now licensed under GPLv3

Does their code distribution (as a package or VCS) contain BSL text? Do the BSL-licensed files still contain the copyrights and a link to the BSL?

The license statement of Kicad is: 'it is licensed under GPLv3' - the BSL ist not mentioned. Kicad has copied all files from the boost lib into one file - including all copyrigth statements + BSL (all put at the top of the file) - and a new library, which is now intergral part of kicad, was created.

As long as they don't distribute this new library separately from Kicad, it sounds like they fulfilled the terms of the BSL.
