Sure! Generally speaking, MIT Licensed code cannot be used as part of Boost libraries. Lets say that hypothetically I wanted to develop a new Boost library that integrates amy and beast together to provide a general-use server, I cannot use the sources from amy, because of the MIT License attribution requirements for binaries (which are incompatible with the BSL).
Also, have you considered adding your project to the list of programs that use Beast? It is here:
