What are "agreed internet operational purposes?"

In addition, you left out the next paragraph:

"A RFC [request for comments] document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to others, and derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain it or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published and distributed, in whole or in part, without restriction of any kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are included on all such copies and derivative works."

So, now that we have that copyright included, let the IPs flow!
