Are you saying lawyers told you such a "guideline" in an IETF BCP would be
legally helpful to IETF participants? If so, maybe the lawyers should write
the draft.

In the past, as you write below, I think the advice has recommended
"talking to your own lawyer".

This kind of thing has been discussed many times before. Here's an old one:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/antitrust-policy/GLvb1NlwrixB9CupSncPBmVa4ho/

What has changed, and why should this be a BCP? Just trying to understand
why this change is happening now.

Rob
