RE: where to send RFC 5378 license forms

(I tracked the first sentence of the "Managed objects are accessed"
phrase back to RFC 1065, August 1988; authors-of-record 
were Marshall
Rose and Keith McCloghrie. There were drafts before that, 
of course.)

That date is before RFC 1310 which makes things more interesting.

Even more interesting is that the date is before 1 March 
1989, when  
the
US signed the Berne convention.  According to:

http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/public_domain/

1978 to 1 March 1989
Published without notice, and without subsequent 
registration within  
5 years
In the public domain

I had forgotten that - the Trust Counsel should give a 
reading on this.

Indeed -- I don't see a copyright notice in RFC 1065.  This may be a
useful approach for old RFCs that lack a copyright notice.  Does anyone
know when the ISOC copyright notice was first applied to RFCs?
