Where does it say this? Note that the quote I sent earlier was the
old RFC 2026 copying condition, which I agree with you is OK. The new
text is in RFC 3667, which seem murkier to me. I cannot find "without
restriction" in it, for example.
=> RFC 3667 style for copyright statements says nearly nothing about
the rights the ISOC grants to us... IMHO you're right and there is a real
issue even any restriction has to be written down to exist (the only
condition is to keep the original copyright).

If you extract, say, a C header file, or an ASN.1 schema, from an RFC
into an application, I believe that may be regard as a "derivative
work".
=> RFC 3667 7.1e seems the right answer.
