I don't think this is self-descriptive enough. For example, GIL is a Boost library, and GIL extensions are obviously "for use with" Boost. But I don't think "for use with" implies "not officially part of" Boost. To clarify, I mean that a GIL extension that has not gone

Please suggest an alternative. We tried numerous *short* phrases and settled on "for use with" as being the most broadly applicable to non-accepted libraries. If you have a better idea that fits well in the logo space available, please share it. We've found that two lines of text can fit nicely in the space we've used, but the two lines must be aesthetically balanced.
If the message we want to convey is that the library is not part of Boost, perhaps we should just say "not part of [boost C++ libraries]". This might cause some reader confusion as to why the logo is used at all, but it makes very clear that no official approval has been granted. --Jeffrey Bosboom
