Any chance of adding some words to the effect that RFCs are free both as
in gratis and in the freedom sense?

Makes sense, but be careful with words.  RFCs aren't free in all freedom
senses, for example you can't even include them in FOSS projects since
RFCs aren't licensed freely enough.

That should dispel any views that this is more than a metadata play
for academic brownie points.

Funny though isn't it.. back with CNRI again.
