Based on above research I could tell that only boost::ublas doesn't have BSL, while all the other files are simply a mistake that can be quickly corrected...
In that case I vote for ripping ublas out of Boost unless and until the authors fix it. This is crazy; people have had long enough.
I'm not sure about that: ublas was voted in under it's existing licence, the authors didn't know at the time that we were about to change things :-)
I know it's slightly radical, but at the same time, the ublas authors have made no efforts to integrate with the Boost community and if their library is *still* holding back progress after all this time, IMO it should be dropped. Unlike Boost.Threads, IMO, it can still be maintained as a project outside of Boost... which is sorta what happens anyway IIUC.
Still we should have another go at contacting them whatever,
