As I understand it, the boost license exists because there is no provision in copyright law to relinquish copyright and place a work in the public domain.

We looked into the predicates.  It doesn't really help because we actually needed different predicates.  I remember Andrii explaining that to me.  It turns out to be a much harder problem than I even realized when I posted it as the GSOC 2010 project idea.  Fortunately Andrii solved it.
