Dave,
Seasons greetings! :-)
"open source != BSD". There are better licenses out there - notably
apache 2.0 is pretty clear, legally, in places where BSD is not.
You may be correct, but this license file was not intended to change what IETF
policies around code in RFCs and I-Ds are. It was only intended to be usable as
a note in a repository used for spec work; the note just says that the IETF
rules apply. And those rules say we apply BSD license for the code components
in our documents, see Section 4 in
https://trustee.ietf.org/documents/IETF-TLP-5_001.html.
