Hello,
This is a reminder to urge Boost developers to add their names to http://www.boost.org/more/blanket-permission.txt if applicable. In fact, I would also like to see a list of authors who explicitly don't want their libraries be subject to the new Boost license.
If anybody wants me to do a license conversion for them, I'd be more than happy to. Just contact me, let me know what library you want converted, and I will send you back the patches.
As long as some of the wide-spread libraries (MPL, smart_ptr, etc.) keep their old license, libraries that depend on these are effectively still limited.
I just realized that the Graph library is licensed under GPL-incompatible terms (it has a choice of law provision, among other things). In fact, it is basically a copyleft, so I'm surprised it got into boost. Andrew Lumsdaine, Lie-Quan Lee, Jeremy G. Siek, and the University of Notre Dame: Any chance you will be updating the license? Thanks, Walter Landry wlandry@ucsd.edu
