However, it seems that rather than having each individual chase after
authors, at least one of whom is unfortunately no longer with us,
wouldn't it make sense to have the Trust sent a release form to the
authors so that they can grant retroactive permission equivalent to the
"modern" RFCs?
This would put action behind the desire.
I think it's much more a question of "we won't pay your lawyer's bills
if someone sues you over this" than a desire to exert any form of control.
I think all the IAB, IESG, IETF trust etcetera WISH for all RFCs to be
freely copyable in their entirety.
Unfortunately, wishes don't make it so.
