Boost Experts,

I am a fan of Boost.Iostreams and I am referencing them several times in the documentation of a

little

library that I wrote and posted on Google Code under "New BSD license" (https://code.google.com/p/async-ostream/).

Do I need to provide a full URL or copyright information or anything else to make such reference to Boost.Iostreams legally sound? Or shall I just switch to use Boost Software License instead to keep it simple?

Using Boost Software License for your code is certainly simple. All files should include this text // Copyright Gene Panov 2013 // Use, modification and distribution are subject to the // Boost Software License, Version 1.0. // (See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt // or copy at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt) (all files means all source and all documentation files). To be acceptable as a candidate Boost library, the files must be in the Boost file format (.hpp not .h) and be buildable using bjam (aka b2). HTH Paul --- Paul A.
