Boost is under it's own license, which is very similar to 3-clause BSD and MIT/X (weak copyleft, no advertising clause) so I would think putting it in a contrib/ directory wouldn't be a legal issue so long as we retain the licesnse file intact. We'd need to remember to update the relevant files in our tree to point to it though. Alternatively, will the magical rhel4u7 ship a newer boost?
