Hi,

I am not sure whether I missed this in the discussion, but I can see some
problems with Copyright statements in early drafts. There may well be people
or organizations which already hold patents or copyrights for things that
find their way into I-Ds. If they are not actively involved in that
particular WG, they may not discover any infringements until the RFC is in
IETF wide Last Call. Hopefully we provide for Copyright objections at that
stage, even if there has been umpteen earlier I-Ds on the subject.
