The first paragraph says: Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) are working documents of the IETF, its Areas, and its Working Groups. In addition, other groups, including the IAB and the IRTF Research Groups, distribute working documents as I-Ds. After all the groups, I'd add "and individuals".

Except for I-Ds that reveal secret text, infringements should only result from inappropriate boilerplate copyright claims. It would be enough to tag such I-Ds with a suitable disclaimer, in a way similar to how the presence of errata is (not) handled.
