what is boost's position on patents?

I'm aware that everything is patented in one way or another but you might at least want to find out if this one is enforced:

I save my breath to state my opinion about patents like this.

Thanks for pointing this out.

From a quick read, it's not obvoious that the interface facilities would be covered by this patent. For instance, there's no "aspect-oriented programming/operating environment" stored in memory.

I'm sure this will be discussed during the review. Jonathan
