Sorry for top posting, and even more sorry for being dense, but what are you trying to say? For me it's not clear from your mail what problems we as Boost developers could face (and why?) if the mentioning of Boost is not removed from the SFC website.
As far as I understand it, the TL;DR is: * SFC provides legal, administration and other services for member projects. * Boost is apparently a member project of this SFC. * SFC seems to have lost a lawsuit over use of the BusyBox project in some kind of closed home entertainment device, lost due to some legal technicality. * Thus, Boost should immediately stop being a SFC project for some undisclosed reason of Alexander.

"Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
Boost emphasizes libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.
Boost aims to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report ( TR1) as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming TR2."
