Unfortunately, the IEEE has tightened its copyright policy; see

/paperversionpolicy.html for details.
Steve,
It seems to me that this policy applies to documents published
by the IEEE and that it has no direct effect on IETF (or RFC
Editor)-published documents.
My comment was in reply to Masataka Ohta's note saying that he
often evades the pricing on things like IEEE or ACM pappers
by finding free ones online. That looks like it won't be possible
going forward.
Current IEEE policy continues to allow authors to post the latest update
prior to IEEE publication on their home site, with proper copyright
notice and a link to the IEEE copy.
I.e., authors can currently post the last revision before IEEE
formatting with IEEE logos for free.
Joe (as IEEE TCCC Chair)
