Maybe you should read this whole thread again carefully, the answers are here. There is currently no license checking done in CI. There is the inspect tool https://github.com/boostorg/inspect which has a license check, but it is not run in CI and it was not written to be run as a unit test.

boost-ci is a new project, it is not used by all Boost projects. You probably want to add the check to __boost_check_library__, a special check that is run together with the library-local tests in the boost test matrix
https://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/summary.html

You can find the code for boost_check_library here:
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/status/boost_check_library.py
