Yes, I suppose you are right.  I have changed the license into:

        The Contributor grants third parties the right to
	copy and distribute the Contribution, with or without
	modification, in any medium, without royalty.  If the
	Contribution is modified, any claims of endorsement or
	official status by the IETF or ISOC must be removed.

Is that ok?  Any other comments?

Thanks.
