RE: Telechat agenda topic: IANA MIB Copyright

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

Yes, there is basically agreement that we will have:

- In the IANA mainatined MIB module DESCRIPTION clause:

      Copyright (C) The Internet Society (year).  The
      initial version of this MIB module was published
      in RFC xxxx. For full legal notices see the RFC
      itself or see: http://wwww.ietf.org/copyrights/ianamib.html

- The text at that web page will be:

   Full Copyright Statement for IANA maintained MIB modules.

   Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2003).  All Rights Reserved.

   An IANA MIB module 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 implementation 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.  However, this MIB
   module itself may not be modified in any way, such as by removing
   the copyright notice or references to the Internet Society or other
   Internet organizations, except as needed for the purpose of
   developing Internet standards in which case the procedures for
   copyrights defined in the Internet Standards process must be
   followed, or as required to translate it into languages other than
   English.

   The limited permissions granted above are perpetual and will not be
   revoked by the Internet Society or its successors or assigns.

   This document and the information contained herein is provided on an
   "AS IS" basis and THE INTERNET SOCIETY AND THE INTERNET ENGINEERING
   TASK FORCE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
   BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY THAT THE USE OF THE INFORMATION
   HEREIN WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY RIGHTS OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
   MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

But the final IESG decision is still to be made.
Probably coing Thursday.
 
Thanks,
Bert
