Joe,

You mention a potential chilling effect an authors if the IETF
maintained an archive of past drafts, but the text in RFC 2026 is pretty
clear. Check the paragraph #1 in section 10.3.1. It says "the
contributor ... grant an unlimited perpetual, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, world-wide right and license to the ISOC and the IETF
under any copyrights in the contribution." Note the words "unlimited
perpetual" -- definitely not "limited to 6 months". -- Christian Huitema

It's still unclear - the document contains required wording about its expiration, under the same document. The two statements are in conflict in that regard.
