Does this discussion mean the suggestion at the top of #199810 is wrong?
(ie. that RFCs not licensed under the license that first appeared (I think)
in RFC2220, October 1997 are OK)

Certainly I've been trimming the RFC list every new-upstream version removing
anything after that point...

Handily, I've got a new upstream version due for upload, so if I need to
whack the rest of the RFCs, now's a great time to do it.

we'd be running around in darkened rooms, popping pills and
