No, it isn't. The establishment of the IETF Trust assigned all
copyrights on exi[s]ting RFCs from the Internet Society to the IETF
Trust. See https://trustee.ietf.org
Not all existing RFCs - only those published after a particular date
(which I don’t recall). Those published before that date needed to
have copyright transferred from the authors - and not all authors
(myself included) have done so.

So, to be clear: ISOC assigned all of *its* copyrights to the IETF
Trust; obviously it couldn't assign authors' copyrights. But the
pre-5378 issue is irrelevant in this case: Even pre-5378, authors always
granted a license for their work to be copied, used, and modified
*within the IETF*, and 8958 is an IETF BCP and clearly within IETF
process. The pre-5378 issue is that the Trust can't allow work to be
used *outside* of the IETF process without the original authors'
permission.
