At least some files in the normal Boost download don't use the Boost
Software License.  Here is a file with the Apache License:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/js/jquery.toc-gw.js

And here is a file with the GNU Public License:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/engine/jamgram.h

Is there a Boost download that only includes files with the Boost
Software License (e.g. without the tools and libs/*/doc directories)?

I'm trying to convince some people I work with that Boost has a
corporate friendly license, but it is difficult given the seemingly
out of date license.html page and the fact that the normal Boost
download (e.g. boost_1_54_0.tar.gz) has files that use copy left
licenses.

Thanks
