This one has a requirement that binary distribution includes the copyright notice, which is not a requirement of the Boost licence, and will be problematic for some users.
Are the only affected files the SIMD implementation, (c) Robert N Steagall? If so, can this be disabled (by default?) by the user to avoid the copyright notice requirement?
I think the fact that Boost uses the Boost Software License is a valuable feature. Having differently licensed files complicates inclusion in the downstream projects.
Yes, also for libraries outside of Boost (some obviously by ml'ers), I always like to see with a Boost License (or MIT). degski
