does the IEFT require copyright assignment?
Yes, there's a thing called the IETF Trust that rights are assigned to.
Actually, no, though this is a common misconception.
Our process requires that you grant (license) certain rights to the IETF
Trust, many including the right to sublicense. However, unlike some other
SDO's, we do _not_ require assignment of copyright; the copyright on an
IETF document remains with the original author(s).
