May I suggest consideration of what happens in a decade or two when boost.org might not longer exist to provide a reference, but we still need to ensure that the license terms are still available. Would it be best to refer (additionally perhaps) to a Digital Object Identifier (see doi.org) which provides a permanent reference to the actual license file. So if boost.org is renamed, say, the reference is still correct because it will be 'resolved' (in the DOI jargon) to a new location as boostTwo.org.
