2. The source code is generated from another project with a different license.

Hmmmm - could you elaborate on this please? I'm aware I could track it down on my own, but since you've already done this, it seems much easier just to ask you.

I believe, the author is allowed to distribute his work under multiple licenses. We (Boost) can only require that the version of the library that is proposed for Boost is licensed under the BSL. In the few files that I checked there is the BSL license quoted in the header comment (although a few files were missing any license), so it looks like the Boost.Outcome library is licensed under the BSL. Note to Niall. Please, make sure that every file contains a license header, including the source code, tests and documentation. You might also want to consider using the recommended header[1] for applying the license. I believe, the presence of this or reasonably similar header is verified by the inspection tool that generates this[2] report.
