RE: [boost] Re: [license]
Would this be appropiate too:
// Copyright 2004 Joe Coder. Distributed under the Boost //
Software
License, Version 1.0, provided this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ // copyright notice appears in all copies. (See accompanying file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ // LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)
?
The highlighted wording is redundant; the licence itself already requires that. Citing the FAQ once more,
My understanding was that it might be more then merely redundant, it could be interpreted as more restrictive. Possibly requiring the copyright notice to appear in compiled object code for example. Glen

That is funny. I hope someone will take a pass through the CVS and change many license references before the next release. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
