copyright requirements clarification - please

Hello all,

I am reading through RFC 3667 and RFC 3668 and have come upon what I
believe is a conflict.

In RFC 3667 in Section 5.4 it states:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
5.4.  Copyright Notice (required for all IETF Documents)

   (Normally placed at the end of the IETF Document.)

      "Copyright (C) The Internet Society (year).  This document is
      subject to the rights, licenses and restrictions contained in BCP
      78, and except as set forth therein, the authors retain all their
      rights."

   Additional copyright notices are not permitted in IETF Documents
   except in the case where such document is the product of a joint
   development effort between the IETF and another standards development
   organization or the document is a republication of the work of
   another standards organization.  Such exceptions must be approved on
   an individual basis by the IAB.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



BUT, in both documents an additional copyright statement is included
near the beginning of the documents:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Copyright Notice

   Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2004).  All Rights Reserved.

-------------------------------------------------------------------


Is this a conflict?

Regards,

Sal
