I'm looking a couple of paragraphs further down:
These notices may not be used with any standards-track
document or
with most working group documents, except as discussed in
Section 7.3
below, since the IETF must retain change control over its
documents
and the ability to augment, clarify and enhance the
original IETF
Contribution in accordance with the IETF Standards
Process.
I'm assuming that the relevant part of 7.3 is
The right to produce derivative works is required for all
IETF
standards track documents and for most IETF non-standards
track
documents. There are two exceptions to this requirement:
documents
describing proprietary technologies and documents that
are
republications of the work of other standards
organizations.
So it looks like any standards-track RFC, or any
informational RFC that
isn't (1) a proprietary technology or (2) published by
another SDO, that
contains this limitation would be an error. I wish I had
time to check for
this, of course, but believe that I agree with Brian here.
Thanks,
Spencer
