Everyone is making money from open source code, including each one of us. This involves a lot of code we particularly didn't write, but we also didn't just steal. I think for most people the line is crossed once open source code is sold privately, or somehow the relationship becomes parasitic, but even then it is not this black and white. We should be very cautious in framing legitimate work, sprucing up a key open source project, and charging for it, as somehow inappropriate. That's the core of open source, and boost is not a GPL project. Claudio.
