[boost] Boost Software License Progress As Of 20040817

http://stl.nuwen.net/bsl3.html (now with serialization, though not python)

* 5037 BSLed files.

* 39 files converted which have to be manually verified.

* 1 file that could be converted, but hasn't yet been.  That's
boost/variant/detail/move.hpp.  It's dual-copyrighted and dual-licensed, but
both Eric Friedman and Andrei Alexandrescu are now in
blanket-permission.txt.  The file should be converted.

* 619 files that cannot be converted yet.

* 83 files without a recognizable license (including files from format,
lambda, pending, any, graph, iterator, mpl, property_map, and utility).

* 248 files without a recognizable copyright holder (all mpl, except for one
file from serialization, where bcp is getting confused - that's got a
copyright and a variant of the BSL).

Still need many authors for the BSL.

python and serialization used to cause bcp to fail.  serialization has since
been fixed, but something is still wrong with python:

**** exception(205): std::runtime_error: Bad file name:
libs\python\doc\tutorial\quickstart.html
******** errors detected; see standard output for details ********

Cool!

I tried what you suggest, but it didn't work:

C:\Temp\boost\boost>..\bcp --report . bsl4.html

**** exception(205): std::exception: boost::filesystem::is_directory:
":sys:stat.h": The parameter is incorrect.
******** errors detected; see standard output for details ********

If you know how to scan everything, perhaps you could post the results?

The recent flurry of additions to blanket-permission.txt is /awesome/.
