The Abstract mentions that:

The "no derivative" clause makes it impossible to incorporate the
material in this draft in any IETF work. The restriction is not
called out correctly in draft-jdfalk-maawg-cfblbcp-02.
IANAL, but my understanding is that one will be able to cite MAAWG's
RFC in other works, thereby /using/ those statements without actually
incorporating protected material literally. Copyright should protect
the wording, not the technique. Taking up terminology and quoting
small snippets of text should be fair use: J.D. himself, wearing a
IETF hat, is drafting a Standard Track I-D (marf-as) that uses the
CFBL BCP that way.
Yep. A reference to a work is not a derivative of that work.
