The 2026 copyright notice include:

   This document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to
   others, and derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain
   it or assist in its implmentation may be prepared, copied,
   published and distributed, in whole or in part, without restriction
   of any kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this
   paragraph are included on all such copies and derivative works.

That text allow me to copy parts of an RFC into my own document or
implementation.  I see nothing in RFC 3667 that grants me similar
rights.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
Simon
