Both of those changes, to the attribution and licensing, would almost
certainly require Boost to get legal consult. As the current template, as
describe in <https://www.boost.org/users/license.html
<https://www.boost.org/users/license.html#FAQ>> was a product of the
original creation of the Boost Software License.

Although I'm all for making the attributions and licensing consistent :-)
