I think there is a misunderstanding. They exclude GPL and LGPL for
library SUBMITTED. They want more of a BSD kind I think. You could not
submit Nel for Boost acceptance,
<Quote>
To avoid the frustration and wasted time of a proposed library being
rejected, it must meets these requirements:
* The license must meet the license requirements below. Restricted
licenses like the GPL and LGPL are not acceptable.
</Quote>
Note : "proposed library"
No such restriction is imposed on code using a boost library: reading from
their licenses requirement
<Quote>
* Must grant permission to copy, use and modify the software for any
use (commercial and non-commercial) for no fee.
</Quote>
You cannot say that you are not allowed to use a library with such a
licence (Note: ANY USE ) !!!
I don't want to force you to use anything from boost, I just would want you
to dismiss it for bad reasons. As a C++ coder, I found it invaluable
(just for fun you migh look at the lambda library at <A HREF="http://lambda.cs.utu.fi/">http://lambda.cs.utu.fi/</A>
I never thought it would be possible). Of course their aim to "perfection"
leads them to move slowly at time (network threads are not there yet...), and
their advanced use of C++ clashes with crappy compiler (VC++). But if you
can use it, their stuff really shines. I have not tested their py_cpp
c++ to python wrapper, but I though you might be interested.
Happy coding !
