Well, I am bring it up. Steering committee is free to discuss, respond or ignore. As it stands my source code either lying almost all the time, or missing copyright or I need to keep updating 700+ file all the times. Unless this changes, I am inclined to change disclaimer everywhere to "Copyright 2001 Boost.Test authors" and be done with that. That's explicitly against the terms of the BSL, if you did do that, expect ructions.
Each library has README file. It should be enough to just have Copyright in that one file IMO. And it won't be a real copyright attribution, but more like acknowledgement: these guys worked on this code.
Which part of "Boost took legal advice" when setting this up did you not understand? John.
