You could also contact the lawyer for Software Freedom Conservancy, which is the legal entity of which the Boost Libraries are a project.

Or you could save yourself a long of time, money, and heartache and just use the libraries. This is the intent of the license and is the understanding of every contributor to the libraries and everyone that has ever been involved with Boost at any point in its existence.

"It was requested that a single Boost license be developed that met the traditional requirements that Boost licenses, particularly: (...) The result is the Boost Software License: (...)"

Contact a lawyer then.
