Has the Boost Foundation enforced licensing of the current logo? If so, can you give an example of what that was?

Fortunately, at least in my time on the board, it hasn't been an issue. You never need these things up until the moment you do.

So.. The reason I asked is because, AFAIK, it would not be possible for the Boost Foundation to do such enforcement. As the rights for the logo are still with the original author. Hence I'm a bit confused why the change is a requirement now.

I don't know the history of the current logo or if the copyright was assigned to the Software Freedom Conservancy at the time. The Software Freedom Conservancy assigned all Boost-related IP to the Boost Foundation when the latter was formed. This is just a good practice and assignment was always the plan for the new logo at least since May of 2022. Now I'm hearing otherwise.
