maybe a dumb question, but I just simulated an interested new boost user but didnt find anything about 'the' current license on www.boost.org, only the faq and lib-guidelines telling some requirements for interested boost contributers. For more info, downloading the complete package seems to be necessary. IMO it would be usefull, not only for me, to add a page with a prominent location to www.boost.org, telling whatever is generally known to apply to the complete current boost version (e.g. containing a copy of the upper license.txt), and then pointing out that each file may have additional terms, being part of that file, maybe copy&paste an example of existing per-file-license.
