As someone who uses Boost for some projects at work, there are two things to consider regarding this. One is that I believe all new libraries must be under the Boost license to be accepted (don't quote me on that) and those qualifiers were put in because before the creation of the Boost Software License individual libraries were under whatever license the author chose. The second thing to consider is that can pull in individual libraries as dependencies (i.e, only the Random, Hash and GIL libraries) rather than requiring _all_ of boost. Then libraries could be reviewed on an individual basis as acceptable dependencies.
