I love to be picked on ;-) I don't want to rediscuss the lack of licenses in
files issue -- see recent archives.  However, all code files in date_time have
BSL licensing and copyright -- the documents clearly indicate date-time is
licesnsed under BSL. Most of the files lacking licenses are html files which
will be removed from the 1.32 release before it ships, anyway -- we've
converted to boost-book.  If you want to add me to the blanket list, no problem.

The latest discussion is to rewrite Boost.threads -- just about everything has
already been tried to reach Bill.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is my company and I think date-time is the only place you will find this
copyright -- and all of this has been converted to BSL, so I'm thinking there
is a problem with the audit.  But if you need blanket permission for
CrystalClear Software copyrighted material, no problem -- I own the company --
it's granted.
