>Note that RFC 2026, the standards process document that we all follow,
>has the following text in it:
>
> (C) The following copyright notice and disclaimer shall be included

>
> "Copyright (C) The Internet Society (date). All Rights
> Reserved.

> This document and translations of it may be copied and

>The IESG has threatened to start enforcing this rule "sometime soon";

>If your local legal eagles require paperwork in order for you to write

>We haven't yet gotten around to sending out little pieces of dead tree

>I suggest placing it in a separate section, just after the
