...
The boilerplate text is owned by the IETF Trust. No author permissions
are needed.
This is good news.
Who owns the oft-repeated
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
As a slightly harder example: what is the set of names
required to cover
all the boilerplate text that goes into an RFC containing a
MIB module?
See above. In addition, MIB modules were licensed broadly under RFC
3978, so they are less problematic than non-code text.
I'm referring to the bits effectively required by the MIB doctors, e.g.:
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a basic set of managed objects for Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based management of ...
and
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
and various incarnations of this stuff that appear in the text of RFCs
that happen to contain MIB modules, not the stuff that's in the MIB modules.
(Earlier versions of this were rather lengthy.)
