That's more than we currently ask people to assign to the IETF when making 
submissions to the IETF (RFC 3667) - there, we ask only for permission to 
use it within the IETF process (which may mean some sublicensing, and may 
not). Not sure what we should write here - I wouldn't want to write 
something here that would require reopening RFC 3667 for consistency.
