The patent policy requirements are not complex.  And the IETF policy
is for specifications, not code.  And the IETF will not arbitrate in
any dispute, especially not over patents, but not over copyright or
trademark either.  I can guarantee that.  So there is no value in
using IETF policies except as templates.

We actually have legal text already, see the IP policy for the
rfc.zeromq.org site.
