The Boost site says that all libraries in Boost, even those not under the BSL, conform to Boost licensing requirements (which excludes the GPL and friends).
So the FSF code in Boost shouldn't be under the GPL or any of its derivatives. From my decidedly non-lawyer point of view, the BSL is just a precise statement of the Boost licensing requirements. So the FSF may not be ideologically opposed to BSL conversion.
But I don't know what the FSF code in Boost is actually licensed under.
GPL, with the following exception: /* As a special exception, when this file is copied by Bison into a Bison output file, you may use that output file without restriction. This special exception was added by the Free Software Foundation in version 1.24 of Bison. */ Which in my naive view amounts to public domain. - Volodya
