Well, the essence of the BSL is the abscence of such restrictions.
If you want to release your code a open source but reserve commercial
uses to your own, you may choose the GPL for the open source part so
that no other company may incorporate it in its non-GPL product. For
those companies that wish to do so, you could release it under some
commercial license with a price tag depending on the company size or
whatever you like.
But that is no Boost software license anymore. I consider the BSL as
being fairly extreme...
Yours,
Martin.
