I think, this violates BSL and I find this unacceptable.
I agree, this is a problem (if true). It is not the intent to prevent people from improving the distribution. On the other hand if someone wants to package some malware into the zip file with a Boost release, I would prefer that we could stop them from using the mark. Very happy to hear ideas on how to adjust the balance between openness and safety.
This has been a problem for Firefox (ensuring no malware was distributed with their logo), and the mozilla fundation has worked very hard to find a solution. I'm not sure which exact state it is on now. I do remember that at the beginning it lead to the creation of icedove in debian (a rebranded version of firefox, because of the non-free trademarks on the logos and a too exclusive copyright), but then eventually came into firefox being available again (with mozilla owned branding) in debian due to some changes and/or agreement found. So, first, i'll look at how they handle it now, because it looks like they have found a pretty good balance. Regards, Julien
