There literally isn't much in it that could be tweaked for a second version of the license, at least not without it being a very different license.
Again, someone may litigate Boost and part of it may be invalidated, for example, a judge may rule that the phrasing isn't clear. That would mean the license would have to be tweaked. It also is possible that Boost may not comply with the law in Country X, and that would need a tweak. With copyright assignment, these will be minor problems rather than major ones.
Also note that changing the license does not invalidate the previous license applying to previous versions of the code. Those remain intact. Digital Mars cannot retroactively take away Boost from the existing code. Any revised license would only apply to future works derived from the relicensed code.
