Hi Doug,
Wow. Blast from the past -- at least that code is. I had some idea what
you were up to, after using boost recently and seeing your name in charge
of the release.
As for the license, I have no problem with that. You have my full
permission to use the Boost Software License 1.0, or any other future
variant. As long as my name stays on the code, I don't really care what
happens to it. =)
