Does the IETF IPR policy apply to Hackathon, including both patent/application and copyright? My personal understanding is: 1, For the code generated during Hackathon, the code (copyright) belongs to IETF/Hackathon. For any patent or patent application that may relevant to the code, the IETF IPR disclosure rule applies. 2, For the base code, such as OpenDaylight, its IPR belongs to the community/foundation that own/sponsor the projects. The IPR rules is defined in that community/foundation, rather than binding by IETF IPR rule. This seems obvious. 3, How about code generated by IETF WG participants, such as a I2RS or Homenet? That may not relevant to an external open source community, foundation or project.
