I'm not sure why an RFC might be granted perpetual unrestricted
copyright
but not allowed in derivative works. Is the intent to include copies as
derivative
works?
I think the goal is to prevent the creation of non-canonical versions that
possibly have errata in them. If I create a derivative work by adding
hyperlinks
and the like, and accidentally change a 3 to a 4 or something like that, all
sorts of mischief will result....
