Mu. I just wrote it. Nothing and noone forced me to make any such 
assumption. The question did not (AFAICR) ever enter my mind.

Let me try it again: Back then randoms like myself could write an RFC 
and never think about legal matters. You're now assuming that we would 
have assumed, and that's a large dose of assumption.

(In my case I'm sure I'll sign and fax whatever I need to sign and fax, 
and I hope everyone will. But I wouldn't feel sure until all the 
signatures are on file.)
