It's not a final release yet because it sometimes generates new boilerplate for old documents, too. > (b) the official "Legal Provisions" document is 6 pages of legalese, and I'm > not enough of a lawyer to sort out which parts I'm supposed to insert where, > and what existing text I'm supposed to remove. As far as I know, sections 6.a and 6.b are the required bits, and 6.c can be used to restrict derivatives or publication. These replace all the boilerplate except the I-D boilerplate (e.g., remove anything that currently appears in http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html#iprnotices or http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html#anchor3). (Why am I pointing at a document with me as an author that describes the old boilerplate? I passed off authorship to this document because I am wary of the apparently-litigious nature of a couple of participants in the ipr wg, and I'm not covered by the IETF's liability insurance any more.)
