I'm no lawyer, but I don't see this as necessary.  AFAICT, the header
supplied by Daryle does not contain "modified code" (at least not from
Boost.Pool) -- rather, I think what he did was observe how we implemented
it, and then did it himself (actually better -- I like the idea of providing
gcd_solver_t and basing the run-time algorithms off it).  There's no
violation of copyright in that.
