That one seems fine on the latest report.

That one doesn't.

I mentioned over IM this was a bug in the inspect code, but for the 
general public :-) You have...

.. Copyright David Abrahams 2006. Distributed under the Boost
.. Software License, Version 1.0. (See accompanying
.. file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)

And...

<!-- Copyright David Abrahams 2006. Distributed under the Boost -->
<!-- Software License, Version 1.0. (See accompanying -->
<!-- file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at 
http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt) -->

The regex that checks for the license is:

boost(\\s+|\\s+#\\s*|\\s+//\\s*)software(\\s+|\\s+#\\s*|\\s+//\\s*)license

Which means that it can't handle the "Boost Softwware License" phrase 
being split across lines for anything other than shell/jam (#) and C++ 
(//) sources.
