It says that the IETF requires the right to make derivative works of all contributions, which includes emails. The final paragraph of section 3.3 allows "no derivative works" legends only for two special cases: "information about proprietary technologies" and republishing standards from other SDOs. Most emails are neither of those cases; therefore "no derivative works" legends are forbidden. Brian
