For the document in question, RFC 768, it appears that the Trust has and can have no rights at all, because it is in the public domain according to the copyright law in effect in the US when it was published in 1980.
As I wrote: > Governing law of publication is law of a country where documents > quoting rfcs are published. that the rfc is in public domain in US does not mean it is so in other countries. So, if considerable number of copies of the rfc was available in UK within 30 days of publication of the rfc in US, things can be very complex. That's why we should concentrate on the simple problem of free fair quoting by Berne convention. Masataka Ohta
