I think CC is a very good license. I was using some GPL icons in my own docs from KDE-look.org. I put an acknowledgment to the authors at the end of my docs. I think that it will be nice to have BSL graphics, but lets face it... we are C++ developers, no icon designers. I fail to see legal problems because of icons use. Another approach will be to ask icons authors if they can licence the particular ones we want in BSL with a dual approach. I think they will be really happy to see that an important project like Boost cares about their work. > >I have two questions for you to answer: > > > >The first question is: Would image files be "required to" or "the > >preference is" use the BSL. > > > >The second question is: If it was decided that it is only a preference. > >Would the above linked license (Creative Commons Attribution > >Share-Alike > >license) be acceptable to the boost community?

Or is this too much of a fudge. That will be just great.

Totally agree. Welcome Peter, thanks you very much for being the spear-head of the SVG icons project.
