Correct, it is not *wrong*. But it is awfully bad at communicating the intent of the document. To me, it suggests that the rights granted are the minimum necessary for the IETF to operate. Naturally, I would have believed that any contribution to an I-D etc. would grant the WG, IETF, RFC editor, ... rights to publication, modification and alike. But every email? That is a very different spirit than what the abstract above suggests. -- TBB ===== IETF Stuff ===== This document may not be modified, and derivative works of it may not be created, except to format it for publication as an RFC or to translate it into languages other than English.
