[Boost-users] about license

Hi-

I am considering using boost in my applications, but I have a question 
about the boost license at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt .  It 
says (edited) "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to ... use 
[and] reproduce ... the Software".

It also says that any derivative works must also have the same license 
grant.

If my application uses boost libraries unchanged, is it considered a 
derivative work?

If so, does that mean that if I distribute my compiled software, I must 
allow free of charge use and distribution?

Thanks.
