Quite possibly. I provided that link as an illustration. If people really care about this issue w.r.t. the IETF, they can join the IPR WG discussion list and read the -outgoing and -incoming I-Ds. <snip/> > The situation with RFCs is made more complex because the IETF [Trust] > does not own the copyright on the RFCs, whereas the XSF does.

And I always verify with spec authors that they agree to the IPR Policy when they contribute a proposal. That task is made a bit easier given that I author 80% of the specs. :) > This means that the IETF Trust merely has to work within the rights it > has been licensed, whereas the XSF can wholesale relicense its XEPs > utterly.
