This is a problem. The official statement is the IPR disclosure, which
should contain the terms used by the IETF in its decision to approve the
document. Certicom should not be able to alter the terms after the fact,
which it seems to have just admitted doing.

I think that we have to consider rejecting documents where the terms are
not definite and/or can be altered at the whim of the patent holder.
