I thought "copies" means copies of the source code, doesn't it? There is 
also a latch that the license can appear only in the docs, not the data 
itself, whether in source or binary form. I guess, that's what the layer 
has to clarify.

But if it indeed means binary form as well then, alas, no Unicode in Boost.
