Hi, I'm working in a company that want to use boost libraries to a commercial software. I have a pair of questions: 1. Is it possible to distribute under the boost license a commercial software (so the source code won't be exposed) programmed with static boost libraries? 2. And with linked libraries to an executable? Thanks in advance! MARC
No. The Boost licence is an open source licence, but it isn't viral like the GPL....You don't *have* to change your licence if you statically link to Boost. You just have to comply with the licence yourself. -- Regards, Peter Geoghegan
