Hello,

I was discussing RFC 5617 with someone and the person mentioned that the copyright in the middle of the document is obnoxious. The copyright statement for the code is 32 lines while the code (ABNF) is only five lines.

If an author wants to include the statement in a RFC for the sake of completeness, is it possible to have the statement in a paragraph near the end of the document and put in a note before the ABNF to refer to it?

Regards,

Oh my.

Could somebody clarify what the current situation with respect to ABNF is? Our WG documents (HTTPbis) contain ABNF fragments all over the place, and we're definitively NOT going to insert a copyright statement everywhere.


In the documents I've worked on, it seems that they just want to put the statement in the section that collects all the ABNF, ASN.1, XML, etc.
