Re: [Boost-users] licenses...

Hi,

I had a Java library that used other packages under different licenses.
I used MIT license for my code and just kept the original licenses for 
3rd party code.
I had a licenses folder in the distribution directory structure and put 
there the several licenses with filenames like jakarta1.0.2.license, 
bcel.license, etc.

I agree that's not the most user friendly solution (for the library 
user it is easier to deal with one license then several) but kept 
things simple, well, for me at least. ;)

Best regards,
Mauricio Gomes
