Given these changes, the Trustees will meet via telechat on September 4th with the goal of finalizing this policy. If you have any final comments, please post them on the IPR WG mailing list. Thanks Ray Pelletier IAD Trustee Summary of Changes 1. Intro -- changed "this document" to "these Legal Provisions" throughout the document. 2. Applicability -- moved Section 4 up to Section 2 for better flow. 2.a Effective Date -- Inserted a specific date for the effectiveness of the document, as discussed in Dublin. 2.b Effectiveness -- the Legal Provisions apply to IETF Contributions that are submitted after effectiveness, and to IETF Documents that are published after effectiveness. 3.a and 3.c Licenses -- the licenses now apply to IETF Contributions and IETF Documents in most places 3.c and 4.c Code -- clarified that Code included in IETF Documents can be reproduced and modified per the document licenses, while Code intended for execution is covered by the BSD License under Section 4. 3.c.iii.y Substantial Portion -- I was not sure whether there was consensus regarding the amount of text that could be extracted without applying the full RFC text/legends. 3.d Licenses Not Granted -- removed reference to disallowance of publishing I-Ds outside the IETF Standards Process. 3.f Termination -- deleted, per Dublin discussion 4.a Code Definition -- moved list of common code components to a URL 4.c Copyright notice -- changed notice in BSD license to reflect that this license now covers code from all IETF Contributions and Documents, not only RFCs. 4.d Attribution -- added a clause requiring identification of the relevant IETF Document/Contribution, per Dublin discussion. 6 Required Text -- added "on the first page" per Dublin discussion. 6.b Copyright Notice -- moved up from 6.c for improved flow. Also tweaked the text of the copyright notice to be more flexible, "IETF Trust and the persons identified as its authors" 7.e Definitive Version -- added a sentence to address the point about translations of these Legal Provisions.
