You may be correct, but this license file was not intended to change what IETF policies around code in RFCs and I-Ds are. It was only intended to be usable as a note in a repository used for spec work; the note just says that the IETF rules apply. And those rules say we apply BSD license for the code components in our documents, see Section 4 in https://trustee.ietf.org/documents/IETF-TLP-5_001.html.
