Boost Experts,
I am a fan of Boost.Iostreams and I am referencing them several times in the documentation of a little library that I wrote and posted on Google Code under "New BSD license" (https://code.google.com/p/async-ostream/).
Do I need to provide a full URL or copyright information or anything else to make such reference to Boost.Iostreams legally sound? Or shall I just switch to use Boost Software License instead to keep it simple?
You can use any license you want (including proprietary): the boost software license is not viral. Even if it were, I doubt that mentioning Boost.IOStreams in your documentation makes your software a derivative work.
