I'm no lawyer but from my point of view it does make a difference. For example, the SGI license doesn't explicitly say that it doesn't give any warranty regarding non-infringement. The Boost license does. So it seems the SGI license is less "water-tight" and adding the Boost license makes things clearer for people evaluating the files.
Chuckles.... I know one very large company that found the change from SGI-style license to the BSL very problematic. And no, I couldn't understand it either! But anyway, very many thanks for tackling these license issues! John.
