0-clause BSD goes even further, and completely omits the attribution requirement:

   Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any
   purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.

   OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR
   PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.

Ah, so boost is somewhere between zero and one clause BSD.
One major difference between Boost and e. g. MIT is, Boost allows you to omit attribution in binary form (but not source form).
