Hi John, sorry for not answering immediately, but these mails were considered as spam. However,m this time I saw it.
OK, here it is:
I, Nicolai Josuttis, give permission for all my contributions to Boost to be moved to the Boost Software License Version 1.
Best Nico

Hi, if you are receiving this reminder again it is because there are one or more files in the Boost C++ libraries that contain your copyright declaration.
PLEASE, do take a little time to read through this and respond - it would help us a great deal! If you already have responded, then I missed it, and I apologise, but if you could take a little time to put me right, then that would be appreciated as well.
As some of you will know already, in order to simplify Boost licensing, we are in the process of moving to a single common license (http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt). The aim of the new license is to provide a single wording, that encapsulates our previous license requirements, and which will simplify the evaluation of Boost for commercial organisations.
So here's the big question: may we have permission to change code that has your copyright to use the new license? Your copyright declaration would obviously remain, it's only the license text that would change.
If "yes", and you have Boost-cvs write access, please add your name to more/blanket_permission.txt.
If "yes" and you have access to the Boost mailing list (boost@lists.boost.org), then please post a message there, subject "Boost License Permission", and content something like: "I Jim Hacker, give permission for all my contributions to Boost to be moved to the Boost Software License Version 1". (This gives us a public record that your permission has been given).
If "yes", but you are no longer subscribed to the Boost list then please reply to boost-owner@lists.boost.org with content as above.
If "no", please give us some idea what objections you may have.
Finally, if this message was sent in error, please let us know, it's just about possible that we have you mixed up with someone of the same name, and if so apologies.
Many thanks for your time,
John Maddock.
