Of note, the Boost license only requires the copyright statement to be included when distributed in source form-- that's distinct from the MIT license and two-clause BSD, which are otherwise very similar but require the copyright statement to be included in any form (binary or source).

That's right. We didn't want to require users to include the copyright in the binary.
Another advantage Boost has is it is "corporate lawyer approved", meaning the license has never been an issue for any corporation wanting to use D.
