Depends on what you want to do with it after stealing it.
Assuming you want to add it to CPython, two things to consider:
- Isn't Boost C++ code?
- Usually, people who contribute code to CPython must sign a contributors
agreement. As far as I understand it, that would be those who wrote it, not
those who "stole" it from them.
