2. Some files have a copyright header which is not the Boost licence. Example: https://github.com/tzlaine/text/blob/master/include/boost/text/transcode_alg...

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 can ask Bob for his permission to release these under the Boost license. I'm certain he'll say yes.

Bob just gave his permission to relicense that code under the Boost license. That just leaves the issue with the ICU copyright. Zach
