John,
At the moment there has been no transfer of rights in the early
RFCs to the IETF Trust, so I think you need to ask the
RFC Editor, or simply look at
http://www.rfc-editor.org/copyright.23Jan01.html
IANAL, but I have been told that in any case it is necessary
to check with the original authors.

A friend of mine wants to include copies of some early RFCs in a book.
My understanding is that anything published before 1976 without a
copyright notice, which would presumably include RFCs up through about
number 700, is in the public domain.
Does the IETF or IAB or RFC Editor take a position on this?
