Re: SPARC Author Addendum compatibility

["Joel M. Halpern" <joel at stevecrocker.com>]

Note for clarification, and a suggestion for resolution.

The below "requirement" would be a change from what the WG is 
requesting.  However, given the rules as we are writing them, the 
trust could make such a change.  (The fact that I, and even John I 
suspect, consider that unlikely does not change the fact that it is 
legally possible.)

Therefore, as I understand this particular issue, what is needed is a 
statement in the inbound rights grant that the authors, as a 
condition of the inbound rights grant, will be granted the outbound 
rights to copy / extract from the RFC.  II believe the authors do not 
need the rights to make changes to the RFC, just the rights to copy / 
extract.

Yes, that puts a tiny outbound constraint in inbound.  So be it.  The 
actual point (and I think it is a useful result of separating teh two 
documents) is that this constraint MUST be an inbound constraint in 
order to meet the SPARC conditions.

Yours,
Joel
