John, At the moment there has been no transfer of rights in the early RFCs to the IETF Trust, so I think you need to ask the RFC Editor, or simply look at http://www.rfc-editor.org/copyright.23Jan01.html IANAL, but I have been told that in any case it is necessary to check with the original authors.

A friend of mine wants to include copies of some early RFCs in a book. My understanding is that anything published before 1976 without a copyright notice, which would presumably include RFCs up through about number 700, is in the public domain. Does the IETF or IAB or RFC Editor take a position on this?
