Even if the author does not disappear, he may eventually lose interest or simply be too busy to maintain it forever, so do Boost have any procedures in place for such eventualities?

I am not absolutely sure about this, but isn't it the case that the sentence: "and to prepare derivative works of the Software" will allow anyone to continue on the work once the original developer is not available anymore, for whatever reason? E.g we are currently trying to rewrite the thread lib to get it under the new license to avoid further stall of maintainance. Roland
