Let me try re-stating my question. Is there a one-to-one relationship

I can answer that one...
No.
Thank you!

not knowing Harolds legal background or current standing w/
the ABA, (or EU equivalent) I think that Bob's recommendation
on getting actual legal advice on your question puts you and
the organziation represented (IETF) on much better grounding
than a simple; "I can answer that... no" on an email list.
just my (uninformed) opinion.

Understood, as I say, I'm just trying to get a handle the range of
community opinion(s) and the scope of the problem. This issue
cuts across TechSpec, the IPR WG, the RFC-Editor's office, and
the IETF Trust (as well as individual authors etc.). Everyone sees
this slightly differently. Before we ask for advise, I'd like to
understand the problem set.
