What if converting/relicensing it later to Boost 2.0 or some other

about copyright law, but I think we can all agree it's complicated
and prone to all sorts of loopholes. We can trust Walter to act in
the best interest of D now and in the future; the alternative on
the table is to trust instead an open union of persons.
Much of these arguments seem to stem from ignorance and fear of the
future. At some point, I think we need to analyze what actually can
happen rather than assuming what can.
I am not a lawyer, maybe we should involve one.
This is exactly the kind of overhead we're trying to avoid in the first
place. Looks like you want to transform a triviality into an interesting
legal endeavor, and on someone else's money. -- Andrei
