[Boost-users] Applying Boost license to non boost projects

I am interested in adopting the Boost Software license for an open source C++ 
library (Castor:  http://www.mpprogramming.com/2.html) 

The Boost FAQ describes how to apply the license to Boost header files. It 
basically states that the foll. lines should be included: 

//          Copyright Joe Coder 2004 - 2006.
// Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
//    (See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at
//          http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)

- Does this same guideline apply to non boost projects ?  The need for stating 
Boost.org there might confuse some users of non boost prj to think that the 
library is supplied by Boost.
- Do all header files in my prj (which is a pure header library) need to 
include this text at the top/somewhere in order to adopt the license.
