(cross posting) The IESG has observed a discussion on the IETF Discussion List [1] about using licensing clauses from the TLP5 [2] in emails sent to IETF mailing lists. The IESG has also observed email sent to multiple IETF mailing lists apply text from the TLP5 or citing BCP78 to withhold rights (e.g., on the IETF discussion list [3] [4], TLS WG list [5][6], SSHM WG list [7] and PROCON list [8]).
To add to this discussion and clarify the issue, the IESG has issued an IESG Statement on Clarifying Derivative Works Rights [9].
