> I have copywritten material on those registries and I was nt under any obligation to give up copyrights
when a submission was made
I do not think is correct, for at least two reasons:
-
It is unlikely that the text in an IANA registry is anything other than “de minimus” and therefor not copyrightable
-
You seem to be ignoring the implied compilation copyright that IANA has on the collection of registry items
-
If the registry entry came from an RFC (which I tend to doubt yours did), then the copyright is the IETF LLC
Can you point out which specific content in the registry is yours?
