It might be a good idea to collect such bits of wisdom in a common place
(such as the wiki). A good starting point: a list of widely known Free
Software licenses, annotated to indicate whether they meet the
requirements in
http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#License (with
explicit references to the clause they don't meet if applicable).
