Here is the situation: most of the code in libcutl is MIT-licensed. However,
also included is a small subset of Boost (essentially the Boost regex library),
which is under the Boost license. While this is done to minimize dependencies,
it is possible to ignore the internal Boost subset in libcutl and instead use
the external libboost_regex library (the --with-external-boost configure
option).

I tend to think that the RPM should be built with the --with-external-boost
option and then the license can probably be changed to MIT.

Alternatively, the license should probably be MIT/Boost (the terms of these two
licenses are very similar).
