[Boost-users] Including boost headers with MPL OSS project?

Hey,

we like to use some of the smart pointer stuff in Liquid 
(liquidmaya.sf.net). However, we like to avoid a boost dependency as 
that stuff is just headers.
We were thus wondering if there were any problems if we included the 
resp. headers with the Liquid source. Liquid is released under the MPL.
Rather surprisingly, none of us liquid developers has a background in 
law. :> Hence we are unsure if the boost license permits distributing 
the headers. I guess if we added the boost license and stated that those 
headers lived under that license that might be ok?
Or does the license not permit to distribute any part of boost but only 
the whole shebang?

Thanks in advance for any feedback on this!

Cheers

Moritz
