Folks, Good stuff here, but... I'd like to put in a plug for making it a mandatory* principle that the IETF end up in no-restrictions possession of data contents from the databases and websites from any contractors. This is different from specifics about what tools are used, open source etc, and what the public availability of the data is. So the text below still needs to be teased a little, esp. because it's mixing the tools and the contents.
