*nods* I was only looking at a few random filenames that sounded interesting just to get an idea of what it covered and what it could be useful for :-).

Yes, this is often an issue when internal frameworks are open sourced.

Non-boost licenses might be less problematic for people who just run the executables on their own servers than for people who release binaries/source.

Walter, or someone, already asked the authors of Tango to re-license it. They said no, I don't recall if not all authors could be tracked down or if it was plain no.

I always hoped to see a CMWC implementation in phobos. If it was default (pseudo-)random implementation I guess it will break all benchmark on random-related tests...

Well, it is simple. You can probably implement it in less than an hour and put Boost on it:
