Independent of that, considering any sequence of ABNF statements as necessarily "code" goes far beyond the intent of the IPR WG as I, at least, understood it. If you, as author, want to identify it as "code", that is your perogative, but this is about copyright and not patents and, at least IMO, metalanguage, metasyntax, pseudo-code, etc., are not intrinsically code in the sense that the WG discussed and intended it. john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
