Though this license is brief enough that inclusion is no big deal.

It seems that doing it by reference to a web page amounts to Boost 
reserving
the right to change terms in the future, possibly to the disadvantage 
of the
authors and users.  But I see lots of code that refers to the GPL that 
way,
so this is another question for the lawyers.
