IANAL, but this disclosure seems to be a pretty standard one with both
RAND and reciprocity clauses. In other words it doesn't stop anybody
from implementing the RFC unless the implementer goes after the patent
holder over something else. In the world we live in, that's as good
as we can hope for.

And no, it isn't an IETF issue. It's the WG's job to decide whether
an IPR disclosure is a problem: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8179#section-7
