4. Rights in RFC Editor Contributions
The following are the rights the IETF, as the publisher of Internet-
Drafts, requires in all RFC Editor Contributions:
All RFC Editor Contributions must meet the requirements of Sections
3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
4.2. Granting of Rights and Permissions
By submission of an RFC Editor Contribution, each person actually
submitting the RFC Editor Contribution, and each named co-
Contributor, is deemed to agree to the following terms and
conditions, and to grant the following rights, on his or her own
behalf and on behalf of the organization the Contributor represents
or is sponsored by (if any) when submitting the RFC Editor
Contribution.
a. To the extent that an RFC Editor Contribution or any portion
thereof is protected by copyright and other rights of authorship,
the Contributor, and each named co-Contributor, and the
organization he or she represents or is sponsored by (if any)
grant a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free,
world-wide right and license to the ISOC and the IETF under all
intellectual property rights in the RFC Editor Contribution for at
least the life of the Internet-Draft:
(A) to copy, publish, display, and distribute the RFC Editor
Contribution as an Internet-Draft,
(B) to prepare or allow the preparation of translations of the RFC
into languages other than English.
(C) unless explicitly disallowed in the notices contained in an
RFC Editor Contribution (as per Section 5.2 below), to prepare
derivative works (other than translations) that are based on
or incorporate all or part of the RFC Editor Contribution, or
comment upon it. The license to such derivative works not
granting the ISOC and the IETF any more rights than the
license to the original RFC Editor Contribution, and
(D) to reproduce any trademarks, service marks or trade names
which are included in the RFC Editor Contribution solely in
connection with the reproduction, distribution or publication
of the RFC Editor Contribution and derivative works thereof as
permitted by this paragraph. When reproducing RFC Editor
Contributions, the IETF will preserve trademark and service
mark identifiers used by the Contributor of the RFC Editor
Contribution, including (TM) and (R) where appropriate.
b. The Contributor grants the IETF and ISOC permission to reference
the name(s) and address(es) of the Contributor(s) and of the
organization(s) s/he represents or is sponsored by (if any).
