["Lars-Erik Jonsson (LU/EAB)" <lars-erik.jonsson at ericsson.com>]

ROHCers,

I'm here forwarding a message from the AVT list, reminding all
of you to read and be aware of the content of these drafts. It
is useful knowledge to all IETF participants, and especially to
those who actively contributes to the work, with drafts or by
taking part in discussions.

Subject: [AVT] Updated RFCs on Copyright and IPR in relation to IETF


Hi,

I would like to make all WG participants aware of that 3 RFC has been 
published that updates your rights in submission to the IETF. I would 
recommend that you look at them. Reasons why you should look at them are:

- RFC 3667 updates what an Internet draft needs to contain, thus it is 
important that any document editor reads this.

- RFC 3667 also regulates what rights you grant with any contribution to 
the IETF. Please note that as contribution is also counted email to the 
WG, speaking at the WG meeting. Please read the RFC for authoritative 
text on this.

- RFC 3668 describes what rules that apply for IPR disclosures, thus it 
applies to any contributing to the IETF.

- RFC 3669 contains guidelines for how to handle IPR in the WG. This can 
be useful reading for people discussing, having or disclosing IPR.

See document information, abstract and links below.

Cheers

Magnus

The IETF policies about rights in Contributions to the IETF are
designed to ensure that such Contributions can be made available to
the IETF and Internet communities while permitting the authors to
retain as many rights as possible.  This memo details the IETF
policies on rights in Contributions to the IETF.  It also describes
the objectives that the policies are designed to meet.  This memo
updates RFC 2026, and, with RFC 3668, replaces Section 10 of RFC

The IETF policies about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), such as
patent rights, relative to technologies developed in the IETF are
designed to ensure that IETF working groups and participants have as
much information about any IPR constraints on a technical proposal as
possible.  The policies are also intended to benefit the Internet
community and the public at large, while respecting the legitimate
rights of IPR holders.  This memo details the IETF policies concerning
IPR related to technology worked on within the IETF.  It also
describes the objectives that the policies are designed to meet.  This
memo updates RFC 2026 and, with RFC 3667, replaces Section 10 of RFC
2026.  This memo also updates paragraph 4 of Section 3.2 of RFC 2028,
for all purposes, including reference [2] in RFC 2418.
