My suggestion is adopt a rule that code snippets in any RFC MUST include a
comment to the effect that "This code was derived from IETF RFC XXXX". If
it's in the code snipppet as a comment to copy/paste virtually everyone will
copy/paste it. I suspect that those that wouldn't aren't likely to be
significantly deterred by a license statement.
Once it's a documented requirement and it's on the ID nits checklist, I
suspect that solves 99% of the problem with no license incompatibility risk.
Adding a comment like that seems like a good idea, and having it on the
ID nits checklist seems equally useful. So +1. However I don't see any
point in the MUST here.
