While I am most definitely not a lawyer, it is my understanding that 
it is permissible to quote from copyrighted works as long as they are 
properly referenced.  I don't think that we should stop people from 
quoting (and referencing) RFCs, but we should stop people from 
producing modified and/or extended versions of the original.

If you believe that our current copyright/IPR text somehow forbids 
quoting and referencing RFCs in other works, could you explain why 
you think that?
