This looks to me like it enforces inclusion of the above text in object code distributions,

IANAL, but I read that as only requiring the copyright notice in copies of the source and in the documentation, not in the binaries.

Do you mean the end user documentation accompanying binaries (e.g. the documentation of a derivative work)? That is the part I want to avoid.

That's what I meant, yes. I didn't say it was a good or convenient thing, however. ___ Rob The reason I bring it up is because it goes against the Boost software license, and since a lot of libraries seem to use boost.config and thus this file in some capacity, I am unsure of what parts of Boost I can use without including this extra requirement. it would be nice if the maintainer would look into this.
