No, I think you're wrong.
I think marking something as code has nothing to do with the rights that
the IETF gets, it only affects whether the rest of the world can
actually use our contributions in open-source contexts.
Oh sure: but putting it under Simplified BSD allows the IETF tools team
and the Secretariat to use it, just like anyone else.
