[Boost-users] releasing code under the BSL

Hello all,

Hoping some one might offer some guidance... (somewhat off-topic,
appologies).

I've developed a generic DAG library in-house and seeking to place it
under the BSL, and would even go as far as a Boost review if people here
want such a thing (that's the intention after all).

Now, I have obtained authorization from my organization's management
and their legal representatives for the software release (yippee!).

However, an email trail of approvals, while legal tells me is
satisfactory, I would much rather a written approval on company a
letter-head.

IP Counsel of the organization I work for just said I ought to draft
the letter myself and just have the Lab Director sign it (, consistent
with the approval already granted .. ie.  "Ok to release the work under
the BSL").

My question is, what exactly ought to be the wording of such a letter?

All help appreciated, and again apologies if it is too far removed from
Boost.users NG business.  If I ought to take this question elsewhere,
please do let me know.

Cheers,
