Re: [Autoconf] Licensing scheme for draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model-02.txt

[Alexandru Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

ThomasC, members of WG autoconf - don't overeact.

FYI I started a discussion on the tlp-interest cc'ing trustees; first
about the procedure (should we always cc trustees, as the trustees
request, even if it bounces back?).  Later I will mention boilerplate.

My statement about the licensing scheme is not intended for discussion.
  It is a public statement showing my personal opinion on the licensing
scheme of this draft.  It discharges me personally from any legal bind I
may have with what may happen later with this draft (from a legal
standpoint).

(I am trying to do the same with every draft I have been following or
  commented on recently, because I just discovered the new strict BSD
  licensing in the boilerplate.)

Yours,

Alex
