No.  My point was that for the IETF, interoperability is the goal, not some
general statement about goodness of Free software.  In many/most/maybe all
cases, this will require any IPR restrictions to be GPL compatible.

Can you think of an open-source project interested in the work of
CCAMP?

GNU Zebra, Quagga, and MPLS-linux are three projects that come up by
searching for relevant technology.

I think you are missing the point, though.  The point is to make sure
that a free software implementation of IETF technology is _possible_.
That doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be able to find an IETF WG
with technical work that may not have been implemented already in free
software.
