Re-reading what I wrote, I see that it was badly phrased.

I meant that the tradition appears to have been that document authors
get to define their own _additional_ licenses, if they want, as long
as they give to the IETF the rights that the IETF needs.  But beyond
that, authors decide.  Looking at old RFCs, most authors don't care
about this possibility, and did not add any additional license.
