As I understand, Boost is a set of libraries available under common license, Boost license, so I think that when library X breaks some copyrights or patents then it does not influences library Y and others. But I'll ask a lawyer, when I find a good one ;-)
Intuitively I would think patent licensing issues on library X would affect the whole package; however removing the offending parts creates a new package, in conformity with law. But as I said that's my intuition. A lawyer should have something less impalpable to back his opinion up :-) -- Genny.
