misunderstand your point,
Once an RFC number is issued and the document published, the content of
that RFC never changes.
See RFC 2200 section 2
I agree, but still IETF can update or obsolete any document,
A consensus driven working group process can be used by IETF
participants to produce a new RFC which updates or obsoletes an existing
document. The existing document does not change.
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt looks the same as in 1982.
The question ment to be:
Do you mean that IETF is producing what it does not own, or IETF has
no right to edit/amend a document that will be published?
Authors grant rights under the terms of the provisions in force at the
time of publication. Not some unspecified set of rules in the future. So
variously none, 1310, 1602, 2026, 3978, 4748 and the IETF Trust
Licensing Policy.
