So for some reason I do not trust Microsoft. And I was wondering if the Boost license protects us from an idea behind a library we wrote. Otherwise this makes the Boost license not very useful. Protects us from? You mean protects the idea from being copied right? I don't think a license can do that whatsoever, since it is based on copyright not on a patent. A patent might be able to protect an idea, copyright can only protect the actually written words, i.e. the code itself not the concepts. Also: have you reached out to Herb Sutter? I actually don't get your concern, do you want to be credited? His library is published under the MIT license, that's still open-source.
Thanks a lot for your help! -Phil
