+1. Thank you so much Howard.

So if I want to use a file from llvm/libc++ in Boost I need to preserv the llvm/libc++ comment.

//===-------------------------- finename ----------------------------------===//
//
//                     The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
//
// This file is dual licensed under the MIT and the University of Illinois Open
// Source Licenses. See LICENSE.TXT for details.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Should I add the LICENSE.TXT file? and if yes,where it should be placed?

Should I add the comment including Copyright  and Boost License?

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//  Copyright xxxx Author name
//  Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
//  See http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Best,
