[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#349209: boost: Boost Graph Library is non-free and undistributable in compiled form

[Steve Langasek]

severity 349209 important
thanks

It's my understanding that the code in the existing package is now covered
completely by the Boost Software License, meaning that it is distributable
and free.  That means that this bug is not release-critical: AIUI, the
current copyright statement in the package is correct but incomplete (since
some parts currently listed under a different license are now *also*
available under the BSL), which isn't a reason to keep the package out of
the release.

Cheers,
