It was just pointed out to me that my purported description of the license terms for Boost.Python was actually a description of the Boost license requirements, of which the Boost.Python license is only an example. Boost.Python is free for any use, commercial or otherwise. The copyright notice reads: (C) Copyright David Abrahams 2001. Permission to copy, use, modify, sell and distribute this software is granted provided this copyright notice appears in all copies. This software is provided "as is" without express or implied warranty, and with no claim as to its suitability for any purpose.

[ANN] Python and C++ - Support Available
by David Abrahams Nov. 1, 2001

Is combining Python and C++ code essential to your work? Python and C++ complement one another wonderfully, but interfacing them using Python's 'C' API can be tedious and error-prone. Boost.Python (http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/index.html) is a popular tool for interfacing Python to C++, allowing you to easily expose C++ classes in Python as though they were regular Python classes. As it's author, I have recently begun offering commercial support for Boost.Python, ensuring that it will receive continued attention. I would be happy to discuss additional support contracts with interested parties. The Boost Python Library is distributed under the Boost License Requirements (http://www.boost.org/more/lib_guide.htm#License), which are as follows: a.. Must be simple to read and understand. b.. Must grant permission to copy, use and modify the software for any use (commercial and non-commercial) for no fee. c.. Must require that the license appear on all copies of the software source code. d.. Must not require that the license appear with executables or other binary uses of the library. e.. Must not require that the source code be available for execution or other binary uses of the library. f.. May restrict the use of the name and description of the library to the standard version found on the Boost web site. -- =================================================== David Abrahams, C++ library designer for hire resume: http://users.rcn.com/abrahams/resume.html C++ Booster (http://www.boost.org) email: david.abrahams(a)rcn.com ===================================================
