#1 I'd prefer that any software I contribute to boost remain "free", as in I don't want someone to add 20 lines of code to a library and then sell it. You can sell the compiled machine code but not the original or the modified source other than to cover duplication and distribution costs.
Boost licensing policy aside for a moment, the CPL is your friend. Briefly, - derivative works subject to CPL; - grant of patent license; - redistribution of binaries under a different license, even a commercial license, is permitted (but the CPL'd source code must still be made available under the CPL); - CPL'd code may be combined with other licensed code without affecting the other code's license. http://www.eclipse.org/legal/legalfaq.html http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:7473 http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:7477 regards, alexander.
