Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents | Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents | |||
Note: in prior versions of these provisions, the software license was | ||||
erroneously called the “Simplified BSD License” rather than the “Revised BSD | ||||
License”, and many documents that refer to these provisions copied the erroneous | ||||
name. The IETF Trust corrected the error on September __, 2021. The license text | ||||
itself was always that of the Revised BSD License and has not changed. | ||||
