BTW, why cannot a free software author license some particular standards text under both RFC 5378 terms, and some other license (a free software license, or even GPL)? Presumably, he/she owns the copyright, and 5378 terms are non-exclusive. Obviously, for collaborative efforts this may require that all copyright holders agree, and that may make this unpractical. But I wonder if there was some other reason? Best regards, Pasi _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
