They are compatible: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html BSL isn't really very similar to the LGPL -- it's much less restrictive. It's not copyleft, for example. It's more similar to 2-clause BSD, but even more permissive (no clause 2). > Boost's smart pointers can also be found (with little differences) in > GCC's TR1 under GPL 3. libstdc++ is licensed under GPL3 with *additional* exceptions, which are very permissive. It can be used freely with non-GPL/closed code. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq.html#faq.license.what /Staffan
