Dave,
I see that you committed two files copyright "Rational Discovery LLC" (libs/python/test/crossmod_exception_a.cpp libs/python/test/crossmod_exception_b.cpp). Do you know who we need to contact to get permission to change these to the BSL?
These are Greg Landrum's. I am not certain how to reach him, but I Cc'd all the likely emails I could find.
Feel free to change the copyright/license statements as is necessary.
Best Regards, Greg Landrum President Rational Discovery LLC

Speaking of "records", what mechanism are we using to keep track of these? Also, blanket-permission.txt is reasonably reliable, since ssh connections are secure. Email is less-so, since it can be spoofed. I hate to suggest this, but perhaps it would be best to ask those without CVS access to mail a signed note, just to be sure. I can't think of another mechanism that has legal verifiability. I'm going to have lunch with Boost's lawyer today, so I can ask him about it. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

Uh, yes I know what you're getting at, I just don't want the bar set so high that no one replies. So far I've been forwarding to the list any permissions that have come back to myself or to boost-owner, and then adding the permissions to blanket-permission.txt. The problem we have is not everyone we need to contact has cvs access, or is even still subscribed to the list. We also don't do any more than look at someone email address, when accepting contributions to boost in the first place, do we? Of course maybe we should... John.

The lawyer is satisfied that in practice what we're doing is fine, so we don't have to worry ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
