I'm pretty sure you still can't use the source code to Windows or
articles from the WSJ in your drafts. A URL is like a footnote.
You're welcome to copy the URL itself, not what it points to.
Re the IRTF. I always operated on the assumption that the note well
applied on the ASRG lists and wiki, but I also don't recall formal
statements to that effect.
