Hi,

When I found GGL and started to work with it, I got an idea of porting
some of GEOS [1] algorithms to GGL. GEOS is licensed under the terms of
LGPL. I decided to discuss [2] a bit if there is possibly some
compatibility with Boost License, to confirm there is even a point of
thinking of this. It looks it's not easy to answer such question
and there are potential problems and conflicts on the level of law.

Perhaps you will find the discussion interesting.
