"Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
The SFC does not pay anybody to list Boost as a member project. The SFC is a US non-profit organization that provides legal and some financial services to open source projects (including Boost). Part of their work involves working with Google to help support funding for their Summer of Code program. They do the same for a number of open source projects. I suspect that the suit was brought on behalf of the author(s) of BusyBox and has absolutely nothing to do with Boost. Although it is nice to know that we have a representative willing to sue Best Buy to protect the rights reserved by Boost contributors. Andrew
