Re: Proposed Revisions to the IETF Trust Legal Provisions (TLP)

["Joel M. Halpern" <jmh at joelhalpern.com>]

There is an explicit list of what is automatically covered as code.
After discussion, that list does not (did not, the last time I checked) 
include pseudo-code.
Document authors are free to mark their pseudo-code using the code 
marker if they want it treated as code.

The problem, as far as I am concerned, is that pseudo-code is not 
well-defined, and therefore including it in the general list, we would 
have ambiguity as to what was or was not covered.

Yours,
Joel
