The subset of boost needed for polybori, another spkg (Sage package),
is included in Sage.
One can probably easily create a version of boost spkg that includes
more of boost.
(just replace what sits in src/ in the current spkg with whatever you
like, etc...)

There are no problems with the license.
On the other hand, having extra 40Mb in the Sage download would need a
good justification.
