Irrespective of the merits of the various licences, I would remind everyone that it took us the better part of 2 years last time we changed licences... and Boost has grown immeasurably larger since then. I am emphatically not going to take on that task again, if someone else wants to volunteer, I can only wish them good luck - they will most certainly need it! New libraries can be licensed under improved licences so long as they are compatible with the Boost licence and meet the licence requirements at http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html.
That's only sort of true - if those libraries have dependencies then users are now left having to understand *both* the "new" and the "old" licence, which is hardly an improvement. On the other hand if they have no dependencies, then there is nothing to prevent you from dual licensing. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
