I just realized that the Graph library is licensed under GPL-incompatible terms

FSF's "GPL incompatibility" claims are barred by the doctrine of copyright misuse and the doctrine of first sale. Copyright laws of this planet do not establish exclusive right to link.

(it has a choice of law provision, among other things). In fact, it is basically a copyleft, so I'm surprised it got into boost.

I for one see nothing troubling with it. But the CPL is much better, of course. regards, alexander.
