You must be kidding. When you manage something as complicated as an
operating system, you have other things to do than to engage in
lengthy legal discussions (not to mention checking everything with an
attorney) with people when you have already read their legal
texts. Legal conditions for redistribution and modification should be
clear enough so that no callback to the IETF is necessary (I find the
current discussion often confusing and I would pity the FreeBSD
people if they tried to follow it).
