Hi Niall,
I first submitted the case to the Boost Steering Committee... and I was
suggested to submit it to this list...
I am not a Boost contributor but I agree with those who proposed to rewrite
these dozen line of code, that will close the discussions...

I throw the problem back to you, boost-steering.

However, mentioning that on this list is not the same as actually raising this issue on the Steering Committee's discussion group.
True. Those who feel this is a problem ought to submit a formal request to the Boost steering committee. The OP appears to come from a jurisdiction without the fair use exemption, hence their lawyers would have a stricter opinion than others on the practice of use of snippets.
Historically Boost has chosen to follow US law, and has done nothing about pleasing other jurisdictions. I actually disagree with that, but my use of the snippets was based on Boost's historical choice on this. Had Boost chosen differently, I'd have done differently.
