For the above text to be more clear, I'd suggest something like:
NEW PROPOSED
c. Derivative Works and Publication Limitations. If a Contributor
desires to limit the right to make modifications and derivative
works of an IETF Contribution, then one of the notices in
clause (i) or (ii) below must be included. Note that a
contribution with such a clause cannot become a Standards Track
document or, in most cases, a working group document,
That works for me. For what it's worth, in clauses (i) and (ii) we were
just being deferential to that historical language, which has been
around since, I think 2026. I'm all for clearing it up.
