[P-1788] IEEE copyright policy



P-1788,

At the MSC teleconference today, Nathalie and I asked the
question of copyrights and motions.  Here is the answer:

1. IEEE does not own the copyright of motions, etc. that
   are submitted during the process, but has a license
   to use it in the standard.

2. The final standard itself is copyrighted by the IEEE, and
   may not be distributed without permission.

3. We should not say that "something will appear in the standard"
   before the standard actually appears.

Best regards,

Baker
