+<PRE>According to Vincent Archer:
+&gt;<i> a BSD-licensed software, one cannot lift a BSD-style software and put it
+</I>&gt;<i> into a GPL project. The licenses are &quot;orthogonal&quot; in style, and you
+</I>&gt;<i> cannot decide on your own to alter the license; only the copyright owner
+</I>&gt;<i> may do so.
+</I>
+A little precision on this subject.
+
+I was about immediately bashed on the head for my old-timer attitudes.
+The arguments I raise mostly apply to the so-called &quot;original BSD
+license&quot;, which had relatively strict advertising clauses on it which
+are incompatible with GPL. But for some reason, my brain is still locked
+in the 10-years-ago mode, and I don't think I'll ever shake it out 'till
+retirement home.
+
+The recent BSD licenses let you mix things with GPL. So, we can't
+incorporate Boost libraries into NeL, but we can happily get them, and
+use them, just like we use FreeType and the like.
