I personally have severe concerns about all aspects of intellectual property surrounding that library and the people behind it. For example, when I did a talk about Boost.SIMD at a conference using nothing but open-source material, my employer received a cease-and-desist letter and was asked to destroy all material related to Boost.SIMD as NumScale claimed it was their property. My employer complied to be on the safe side.
I believe that during the review we should definitely take into account how the existence of the two versions of the software can be harmful to users.
Eh, sorry, are you saying that anybody who uses Boost.SIMD may receive a cease and desist legal order from the people behind its commercial edition?
That's certainly what happened to me, though I have special circumstances as I used to be affiliated with them. Your mileage may vary.
