If the steering committee might be thinking of fixing the BSL, better to

Also not compatible with the BSL.
The BSL is compatible with the GPL, so I find it very hard to believe that Apache 2.0 is incompatible.

I believe it is more correct to say Apache 2.0 does not meet Boost requirements to the license in that it is more restrictive than the BSL. In particular, BSL has no requirements similar to those in Apache 2.0 [1] Section 4 item b.
Sorry, yes, it's more accurate to say the APL doesn't meet Boost licensing requirements. And it's not just 4.b, it's 4.a also. As both apply to "Object form" redistribution. There's a good reason why you see considerably more commercial products use Boost and not other OSS libraries. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
