Protip: Stop categorising people in a blurry way and making unsound 
general statements about those categories if you want your points to be 
understood.

AFAICS, the Boost license is just about opting out of possibly annoying 
defaults of copyright law. I see no reason to adopt an ideology over this.

I.e. you expect 'the community' to hold restricted opinions?

Also: Where does the Boost licence say anything about discussing 
arbitrary derivative works on the official forums?

(BTW: freedom becomes a non-trivial concept as soon as more than one 
entity should be free.)
