Thanks very much for emailing me about flex_string. If you could also insert the following copyright notice, I'd be most grateful (beware of wrapped lines):

Hold on a second: we've worked really hard over the last year to cut down on the number of licenses in Boost - and the normal requirement for new code now is that it be under the Boost Software License. Would you be willing to have the code appear under that license? In particular your terms above have a BSD style advertising clause, which I believe we've always forbidden Boost code from having (see http://www.boost.org/more/license_info.html).
