What is gained by doing this though?  The template parameter is never used.

Or am I missing something?

I'll take this opportunity to ask this question:
Why isn't noncopyable a template class?

That is:

    template<class T>
    class noncopyable
    {
    protected:
        noncopyable(){}
        ~noncopyable(){}
    private:  // emphasize the following members are private
        noncopyable( const noncopyable& );
        const noncopyable& operator=( const noncopyable& );
    }; // noncopyable

Used as:

struct Some : boost::noncopyable< Some>
{
...
};
