Hi all,
I was looking at boost.container, and found that boost/container/deque.hpp has similar problems as boost/detail/endian.hpp had before that was fixed. Parts of deque.hpp seem to be covered by a license that is not compatible with the Boost software license. I quote:
// Copyright (c) 1996,1997 // Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc.
I think there is no SGI code left in boost::deque after so many rewrites and modifications. The notice was removed from all other containers but I missed this for some reason.
Just googling a bit I've found that Boost.concept_check also has a SGI copyright notice:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/idp12138272-bb.html#concepts.r...
There are actually many hits for "Silicon Graphics" all over Boost. boost/container/deque.hpp boost/container/string.hpp boost/detail/algorithm.hpp boost/detail/binary_search.hpp boost/interprocess/streams/bufferstream.hpp boost/interprocess/streams/vectorstream.hpp boost/intrusive/rbtree_algorithms.hpp boost/multi_array/algorithm.hpp boost/multi_index/detail/ord_index_node.hpp boost/multi_index/detail/ord_index_ops.hpp boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp boost/tr1/detail/config_all.hpp boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp Hello, Is it possible for the various maintainers to make an effort to get rid of all of these eventually? It makes using Boost a bit of a mine field in terms of licensing, since these two licenses are incompatible. Kind regards, Philip Bennefall
