    Interesting. It would seem, for example, that companies that include
    portions of the printer MIB text in company documents listing full MIB
    support, without author permission, are in violation of the restriction
    against using IETF material in derivative work.

    On the other hand, any document published as an RFC but created outside of
    the IETF standards process (e.g., the PWG?)is not covered by the IETF policy
    but by the RFC Editor's applicable policies.. which presumably can change.

    Thanks Ira, I think.

    Hi -

    The document itself is at
    http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Copyright-FAQ.pdf
    and well worth the twenty minutes or so it takes to read it.
