AFAIK the reasons it was chosen were

1. It's as close to public domain as you can get in international 
law
2. It's on all of the "Accepted OSS Licenses" lists that major 
corps have because of Boost itself being used in those companies. 
If your license isn't on the list, your project isn't being used.
