Agreed.

I assumed Chuck talked about patent disclosures when he said "IPR
disclosure", and then he would be correct that they can say anything and
the language in them will likely change given the new policies.  I
assume you interpreted him as meaning copyright disclosure, and then he
would be wrong as you explained; there are only very limited copyright
choices when contributing anything to the IETF.  Re-reading what he
wrote, I'm not sure what he intended.

Another reason to avoid the term "IPR"...
