A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : RFC 3978 Update
Author(s) : S. Josefsson
Filename : draft-josefsson-ipr-rules-update-04.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2005-12-13
Two problems with BCP 78 regarding the outbound rights granted to
third parties are identified. A proposal to solve the problems is
proposed.
The first problem is that rights granted to third parties in BCP 78
are more restrictive then what was permitted through the license in
RFC 2026. The rights granted by the new license is too limited for
some uses of Contributions. The uses include adapting portions of
Contributions for online help, reference manuals, and source code.
The second problem is that rights to publish and distribute documents
are not granted to third parties.
We also discuss an issue that has been expressed regarding fake RFCs,
that might have been permitted through our earlier license, and we
also attempt to solve that problem.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-josefsson-ipr-rules-update-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
