I think it would be grateful to add an acknowledgement, perhaps to
At the risk of being curmudgeonly, I'm not sure I agree with this - the folks who have acknowledgements there currently all provided free copies of their compilers (that were/are not generally available) to aid with Boost testing. RenderX hasn't actually given us anything that isn't freely downloadable anyway. If they let us have a copy of the commercial version of the product - so we could produce advert free docs - that would be a different issue.
Well I'd be the last to accuse you of curmudgeonly-ness ;-) But I think we could not reasonablely expect them to dish out a free copy to every single Boost developer - and yet that's what we all need (to check what a pdf version of their stuff will look like) - and what we have effectively got. So on the grounds that it costs nothing to say thanks, I still feel it's the right thing to do.
