The code from the Numerical Recepies in X books is licensed under a
bunch of licenses, all that are completely unusable for Boost (or in my
opinion, anyone).

Basically, the only license they have that doesn't cost you money is the
"immediate license" in which you have to type the code in onto your
personal computer, and may not redistribute the code or binaries using
the code, nor use it for commercial purposes.

Heck, I'd guess that being inspired by the code would probably count as
a derived work and be useless as well.

(this is all according to my Numerical Recepies in C 2e)
