I'm assuming, Boost is in its rights to distribute the current logo
under BSL. Because that is what's being communicated to users on every
page that says it's distributed under BSL. Let alone the official Boost
packages themselves, which contain the license text and the logo. And
it's been this way for decades.

If this is not the case then we have a major legal issue and should
obtain the license ASAP or remove the logo. In which case, my stance
wrt. the current logo is pretty much the same as what I said about the
proposed new logo.
