% % One of those terms/conditions was a limited period % of publication, after which, the rights revert back % to the author(s). % % ps - look at RFC 3667 section 1 (g) % % Scott ah... but said RFC did not exist at the time my IDs went out. and my cursory perusal of said RFC seems to indicate that it is mute on materials submitted into the IETF process in times that pre-date said RFC existance. In my case, the drafts in question clearly state the terms/conditions of publication by the IETF and where said copywright resides. Now perhaps the IETF should have refused publication, but it did not... so I believe that the T/C in the draft are valid. Legacy stuff is quite thorny. Perhaps MO's law should be called on and one could let sleeping dogs/drafts alone. RFC 3667 section 1(g) clearly covers most all new drafts, save RFC Editor contributions and material that is limited by section 3.3(a)(c) - that said, it could be that the 40,000 or so legacy draft authors won't care, but it would be sound hygiene to ask them if they mind if RFC 3667 rules would apply to their contributions. --bill Opinions expressed may not even be mine by the time you read them, and certainly don't reflect those of any other entity (legal or otherwise). _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
