I correct this. I did not mention anything alike. Only that legal (not
a lawyer but been there done that), I only listed two things that can
definitely not be done via RFCs, at least not until the license and
the assignment of this license is as it is now.

For the rest, I tend to fully agree with the general feeling, I am
totally fine to use the RFC to change itself, the language or
whatever.

The only thing I dislike a lot is the general tone of these
discussions, that should be different, that makes me sad and really
not willing to participate in any way.

Best,
