A while ago there was a call for license reviews.  Various licenses were
listed at:

  http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost_License

for review.  The STLPort license, which is available at:

  http://www.stlport.org/doc/license.html

was not listed (or at least does not seem to be).  Since it seems the
spirit of boost is to provide libraries more in the spirit of "open source
stl," I thought that this license might be more suitable than others, and
in any case deserves to be reviewed or listed among possible licenses as
well.  The license is composed of several parts, some of which are the
result of earlier licenses in the history of STL.  The STLPort portion
seems more open as it seems to make no requirement regarding non-STLPort
documentation.
