> 
> 1)  Clarify the copyright text at the beginning of the BSD license in
> Section 4.1 to read as follows:
> 
> Copyright (c) <insert year> IETF Trust and the persons identified as its
> authors.  All rights reserved.
> 2)  Replace the word "and" by the word "or" in one place so that the last
> sentence of Section 6.c.iii becomes:
