Hi, if you are receiving this message it is because there are one or more files in the Boost C++ libraries that contain your copyright declaration.
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 the 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. Yes, I give permission to move all my contributions to Boost to the Boost Software License Version 1.
Cheers, Gottfried
