Note that this probably not the only non-BSL part of Boost. Looking at
the inspection report and ignoring issues with tests, examples and
docs, at least the following files seem to have a different license:

boost/program_options/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp
boost/test/utils/runtime/cla/detail/argument_value_usage.hpp
boost/shared_container_iterator.hpp

There are a few nonessential and deprecated files that don't have a
license statement as well.
