Yep.
We already have a bunch of really complex intellectual property
licencing issues, and have to be really careful about this stuff. We
can't use _any_ outside code unless the licencing term _clearly_
allow us to do so without any IP entanglements. I've found several
files in Boost that were lacking copyright statements, because we
have to be so careful about this.

I agree completely.
