A little precision on this subject.
I was about immediately bashed on the head for my old-timer attitudes.
The arguments I raise mostly apply to the so-called "original BSD
license", which had relatively strict advertising clauses on it which
are incompatible with GPL. But for some reason, my brain is still locked
in the 10-years-ago mode, and I don't think I'll ever shake it out 'till
retirement home.
The recent BSD licenses let you mix things with GPL. So, we can't
incorporate Boost libraries into NeL, but we can happily get them, and
use them, just like we use FreeType and the like.
