I'm not affiliated to either organization, and I need to apologize for not yet having found the time to test drive the proposed new website, but if everything is under the BSL then strictly IMO it is no different to any other contribution to Boost. Indeed, I would actually *expect* any new website code to be BSL licensed?

Of course the licensing of the website should be BSL licensed. This is referring to the new boost logo/artwork copyright. The Boost foundation needs an assignment to enforce its licensing.

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

I remember cease and desist letters being sent to some people many years ago who were sticking Boost branding all over their code and claiming it was a Boost library, when it was not. They promptly removed their claims. This was before the Software Freedom association and long before any Foundations, so very long ago. I can't remember anything in many recent years however. Obviously I've been around Boost for too long if it all fades into grey. Niall
