Dropping "for the avoidance of doubt" is fine.
The ability to prohibit derivative works of I-Ds is
still allowed, just as it was under 3978. See Section 6.b of this
document.

Until "7f" that all sounds good, but I'm not sure about "7f":
That also sounds right for published RFCs. But apparently

it's not limited to RFCs and affects *all* Contributions.
SNIP
Apparently there is an exception. Maybe that's perfectly
clear in your text, and I just don't see it (IANAL).
I agree with Frank, the disparity needs to be resolved. After looking at both documents, I couldn't see a way to reconcile the two.
Also, petty point, but it would make sense to strike "for the avoidance of doubt" from 7f. I don't see what, if anything, it adds.
