Not correct. Look at the handling of security issues. The project has chosen (never formally, though) that it will sacrifice one of its core values to increase short-term user convenience. There is always some room for interpretation, and often a certain political motivation behind interpretation. BTW, has anybody tried to clarify what "for the purpose of developing Internet standards" means? Is it possible to publish an Internet Draft formally aiming at an Informational RFC which is based on an RFC with such a copyright notice?
