Thanks for the response.
By the limited response I guess no one has had to get one of these disclaimers before for boost.
I am proposing to use the following which is basically the GNU one you linked to:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the "Boost.GAL C++ Library" (which provides a library of tools for audio representation, processing and IO) written by Brendon Costa.
<signature of Moe Ghoul>, 1 April 1989 Moe Ghoul, President of Vice
Do you think this is suitable?
I wanted to make the exemption more generic to cover the entire Boost C++ Libraries so I could contribute to other boost projects as necessary, however I am Not A Lawyer and a lot of things in the above broke attempting that. For example:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the "Boost C++ Libraries" (which provide assorted libraries for use in C++ coding).
<signature of Moe Ghoul>, 1 April 1989 Moe Ghoul, President of Vice
* I would have to remove the "written by" as I did not write all the Boost Libraries (Which I think this exemption needs to have my name in it somewhere) * The description is redundant really here "which provide assorted libraries for use in C++ coding"
I'm not a lawyer either, but if I were your manager I wouldn't sign a general release form for "assorted libraries". :-) Who decides what is part of a library and what is part of your company's core product (assuming you write code there as well). Bo Persson
