5.3. Rights Granted by Contributors to the IETF Trust
To the extent that a Contribution or any portion thereof is protected
by copyright or other rights of authorship, the Contributor and each
named co-Contributor grant a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, world-wide, sublicensable right and license to the IETF
Trust under all such copyrights and other rights in the Contribution:
a. to copy, publish, display, and distribute the Contribution, in
whole or in part,
b. to prepare translations of the Contribution into languages other
than English, in whole or in part, and to copy, publish, display,
and distribute such translations or portions thereof,
c. to modify or prepare derivative works (in addition to
translations) that are based on or incorporate all or part of the
Contribution, and to copy, publish, display, and distribute such
derivative works, or portions thereof unless explicitly disallowed
in the notices contained in a Contribution (in the form specified
by the Legend Instructions), and

d. to reproduce any trademarks, service marks, or trade names which
are included in the Contribution solely in connection with the
reproduction, distribution, or publication of the Contribution and
derivative works thereof as permitted by this Section 5.3,
provided that when reproducing Contributions, trademark and
service mark identifiers used in the Contribution, including TM
and (R), will be preserved.
My interpretation of the CC-Attribution license on the GeoJSON spec is that the rights above are already granted. Does anyone disagree?
