RE: Draft Trust Policy re: Rights in IETF Documents

["Contreras, Jorge" <[e-mail]>]

Dropping "for the avoidance of doubt" is fine.  
 
The ability to prohibit derivative works of I-Ds is still allowed, just
as it was under 3978.  See Section 6.b of this document.

		Until "7f" that all sounds good, but I'm not sure about
"7f":

		That also sounds right for published RFCs.  But
apparently
		it's not limited to RFCs and affects *all*
Contributions.

		Apparently there is an exception.  Maybe that's
perfectly
		clear in your text, and I just don't see it (IANAL).
		


	I agree with Frank, the disparity needs to be resolved. After
looking at both documents, I couldn't see a way to reconcile the two. 
	
	Also, petty point, but it would make sense to strike "for the
avoidance of doubt" from 7f. I don't see what, if anything, it adds.
