Tony,
OK -- I can see how that would be useful, but its not clear to me that it would necessarily be a blocking requirement. Reality check: I'm writing this e-mail to you and at least my side application, OS, and the first couple of hops are completely pure open source yet every protocol I use before until L2 is from an IETF RFC. Maybe the same on your side. And somehow that code got written, presumably without lots of copying of RFC text... And I can think of some RFCs where I'd rather not use that text... (Comments? Who needs comments?)Except that it prevents using the text of an RFC as comments in an implementation.
But in any case, I wouldn't mind if we experimented with a more relaxed license for some set of RFCs...
