The bcp tool is now capable of automatically converting files over to the Boost Software License. However, we need volunteers to verify that the transformation is correct. I have (locally) converted 1256 files
That's fanatasic! I'm really looking forward to a release that's completely BSL. I went through the entire page (yeah, excitement on a Sunday afternoon), here's what I noticed: Incorrect: 58-87 991-995 997 1053 1056 1072-1086 1237-1240 Questionable1: 51 674 952-986 1046 1057 1212-1220 Questionable2: 188-394 517-526 624-653 Questionable3: 678-823, 1177-1190 The incorrect are all of the form of a two paragraph license, where the second paragraph was not removed. Questionable1 have a changed from C-style comment to C style comment with C++ style comment embedded. They all appear to have been converted correctly, it's just the style that's wrong. Questionable2 have changed from having a pseudo-copyright which says to see the original non-preprocessed file for the copyright information to actually having the license directly in them. Perhaps this is an improvement, perhaps it's undesired. Questionable3 are also comment format C->C++ but they have a leading # on each line so they may be more problematic? Not sure. scott
