Hi Beman & others,

One thing is slightly confusing. The second paragraph says:

The copyright notice in the Software and this entire statement,

  _including the above license grant_,

this restriction and the following disclaimer, must be included ...

The author of a derivative work can put in a more restrictive license
right? In this case, wording that gives the full Boost permission must
still be included according to the draft license.
This would lead to a license text like:

"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge,..."

"No, no, no... I didn't really mean that. You must pay ..."

Best,
  Jaakko Järvi & Jeremiah Willcock
