Intel announced today that they're open-sourcing their cross-platform Thread Building Blocks 2.0 (TBB) template library.
The license is the GPLv2 with the runtime exception, that it to say the same license as libstdc++, the GCC C++ standard library. While quite permissive, (it can be used with proprietary code) it is not as permissive as the boost license. Is some kind of integration with boost utilities possible? Several parts of TBB were being worked on in boost, and reusing their code may prove useful since it is a very robust and efficient library.
