For those people who believe in “IPR”, copyrights (which is the mechanism used to protect specifications that are behind paywalls) are “IPR".  So this is very logical, even if the impact of this kind of IPR on large-scale vendors is much more limited than the kinds of “IPR” we usually talk about in the IETF (i.e., patent claims).  The impact on people who need to configure, diagnose, research, or otherwise assess the technology is still very relevant.
