Note that underlying predicates library is in the public domain. Dunno if that helps. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/robust.html
As I understand it, the boost license exists because there is no provision in copyright law to relinquish copyright and place a work in the public domain. We looked into the predicates. It doesn't really help because we actually needed different predicates. I remember Andrii explaining that to me. It turns out to be a much harder problem than I even realized when I posted it as the GSOC 2010 project idea. Fortunately Andrii solved it. Thanks, Luke
