Hi,

licenses

That is the case. However other MIT license software include the LICENSE =
text are included in full (e.g. UTF-8 Library, epoch, jQuery).

In all cases they are bundled with the source so I don=E2=80=99t see why =
they are treated differently or why boost comes after the confusing part =
in the the LICENSE file.

AFAICS re that part:
- Point =E2=80=9Ca=E2=80=9D is incorrect as boost is bundled in the =
source code.
- Point =E2=80=9Cb=E2=80=9D while legally correct doesn=E2=80=99t follow =
current ASF legal advice. [1] (i.e. add a pointer to the license to =
LICENSE)
- Point =E2=80=9Cc=E2=80=9D is also against policy, only things bundled =
need to be mentioned. [2] Having extra stuff in LICENSE is not an =
licensing error but it makes the situation a little confusing IMO.

Totally up to the PPMC, as long as users know what is going on and aware =
how they are licensed.

As these files are bundled in the source release are their licenses =
mentioned in LICENSE? (again see [2])

Thanks,
Justin
