Can any body grant BSL license with some conditions, such as only free for non-commercial use, or free for small-entities (a company with less than 30 employees)?
Well, the essence of the BSL is the abscence of such restrictions. If you want to release your code a open source but reserve commercial uses to your own, you may choose the GPL for the open source part so that no other company may incorporate it in its non-GPL product. For those companies that wish to do so, you could release it under some commercial license with a price tag depending on the company size or whatever you like. But that is no Boost software license anymore. I consider the BSL as being fairly extreme...
