Re: [boost] Interest in an arbitrary precision library?

Would it be worth trying to get Victor Shoup to change the licence terms to
Boost?

I suspect it is GPL only as that was the simplest licence option when it can
out - many years ago.

He might also be willing to change it to the Boost style, or let someone
else do it?
