Tracking IPR (Re: RFC Author Count and IPR)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just one note on this long thread:

At present, the IETF secretariat does *not* attempt to track who has copyright rights on what parts of the text. Neither, as far as I know, does anyone else (WG chair or editors), apart from following the RFC 2026 rule that "significant contributions should be acknowledged" - this is commonly done by Authors, Contributors and Acknowledgement sections, which rarely point to specific pieces of text.

Claiming that we track copyrights on pieces of text, and then not doing it, would, in my opinion, be extremely stupid for multiple reasons.

So I want to make it perfectly clear that the IETF is NOT doing this.
