Kristijonas,

I'm not a lawyer either, but it is clear to me that the
discussion has strayed far outside any area that the IETF can do
anything about or that is productive for discussion on this
list.

Absolutely! Thanks to everyone for your inputs. All the questions I had have been answered.

To sum up, the lesson learned - despite some sections of an RFC not directly referring to another RFC (as RFC8461, section 4.1 doesn't to neither RFC5321 nor RFC2181), one still should always want to read all normative and informative references, referenced at the end of an RFC. And probably other RFCs as well. And take them as a whole. Just to be safe.

Thanks again everyone for all you do! :)
