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.
