Right. I should have said "fair use" or whatever the corresponding legal
doctrine is called in your jurisdiction. Is there a generic,
jurisdiction-independent term for this doctrine?

give the IETF (and IETF Trust) whatever rights they need, not on
making would-be users of text spend energy trying to figure out
what they can and cannot appropriate without those rights.
Sure.
* This debate, and the workaround, are really about what rights
I have to claim that I have, or have obtained, to give to the
IETF.
I'm trying to figure out what specific guidance, in the form of a
step-by-step procedure, I can give to my WG so that draft authors can
identify whether or not they need to include the workaround boilerplate. I
don't want each of them to have to understand all the nuances of this
debate, nor contact personal / corporate counsel in the process.
