Ah. I see you are correct that BGL is under an Artistic License.

First I looked at ArX-2.1.1/src/boost/boost/graph/visitors.hpp, and the 
license summary in the header comments sounds GPL compatible, although I 
realize that it's just a non-binding summary.

There is no LICENSE file in that directory, nor in the parent, but in 
ArX-2.1.1/src/boost the LICENSE_1_0.txt is the 2003 Boost Software 
License. So I assumed that applied to everything within the boost tree. 
Apparently not, as there is a different (Artistic) license at 
ArX-2.1.1/src/boost/libs/graph/LICENSE.

Hopefully the BGL folks can resolve this quickly.
