Since about March 2009, most if not all, IETF Last Calls have included the text
"The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D:"
I assume that this is telling us that there are no IPR Declarations relating to
this I-D and that if there were, then they would be listed.
My question is, is this a change of practice? I have a folk memory that there
has always been a requirement for IETF Last Calls to disclose IPR claims but
cannot find anything to support this; eg RFC3979 only requires a statement in
the published RFC.
