Ever since, I've wondered if these notices were set up by someone
who is a lawyer and does understand the situation, or if they were
set up by someone who saw others do it, or heard that this sort of
thing was needed.
It's clueless cargo cult lawyering. I blogged on it in January:

At least in the US, which is where the IETF has its formal existence,
these notices have no legal merit at all. They're just stupid.
R's,

PS: Anyone who wants to argue they're not stupid should include citations
to case law.
