The benefit is for collaboration, and to have the author's work interoperate with the work of others who participate in the IETF. We do recognize that some contributors have patented ideas, and there are protections for those, but the writing are for the benefit of everyone contributing to the IETF.

Discarding the original author ?!!!

Well, as John Klensin indicated, if the person knew of your work and didn't give you credit, it's certainly rude not to give you credit, but it is not required by the license.

No, that is not permitted by the license. You are only allowed to make derivative works if you are contributing your work to the standards process (unless the author allows or a different license is given).

And applying this to my case, I didn't allow anyone to use the contents without asking for my permission outside the ietf.

in that case the issue is not an IETF one - it is between you and the person or company that copied your work

Scott, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is also a violation of the IETF Trust's license to copy the text without permission.

But Khaled, remember that copyright is about copying the text, not taking your idea. Unless they copied the text, they have not violated the copyright license.
