Boost :

If some compiler vendor takes a version of Boost and makes changes to
that version of Boost to suit the particular compiler, while
distributing that version with full source code as an optional part of
some release of that compiler, does this mean that the code is now
proprietary for that compiler vendor ? Or does the code still remain
open source so that a programmer can use the changes made to update his
own version of a Boost release or provide PRs to some later release of
Boost based on the code in the compiler vendor's release ?
