I am concerned that the current RFC Editor practice that limits the
number of authors is in conflict with the IETF IPR policies. The RFC
Editor currently limits the author count to five people.
FYI, that is a violation of Article 6bis of Berne convention:
(1) Independently of the author's economic rights, and even after the
transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim
authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or
other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the
said work, which would be prejudicial to his honor or reputation.
That is, in most countries including US, no one can distort the
real authorship (perhaps without spontaneous consent from the
authors).
