PASS

PASS: The license does not go out of its way to say that commercial use is allowed, though. I think we'd want to do that.

PASS: Requires copyright notice, conditions, and disclaimer on all distributions of source.

FAIL: Requires copyright notice, conditions, and disclaimer in documentation and/or other materials.

PASS

Has a 1-paragraph disclaimer in ALL CAPS. Requires an acknowledgement of development by the Apache Software Foundation, which is obviously not appropriate for Boost. Also includes other Apache-specific legacy acknowledgements. We could change the acknowledgement, but the license fails on other counts.
