Reading the entire sentence, the phrase "of the Software" appears three times. Note the capitalization of "Software". That makes it clear that the copyright, license, etc, reproduction requirement only applies to any Boost software, not any non-Boost portions. It doesn't matter what form the non-Boost portions are in; they aren't covered by the license.
The inclusion of the "of the Software" phrase prevents the problem you are worried about AFAICS.
Well, I hope so. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't decide. Personally, I think I understood and respect the spirit and boost and I don't fear to be sued. The problem is that lawyers have to accept it, but I think your interpretation of "the Software" should tame them. Thanks for clarifying.
Regards, Daniel
