Right. Thanks for looking at the license. We have later identified a potential problem, in that removing all references to the source organization is not what we always want. It seem useful for derived work to continue to be able to state that they are derived from an IETF document. I.e., the IETF must be mentioned if you are going to cite it. I'll post the updated license on freebsd-doc, it was suggested to move this discussion there, to reach a better audience.
