Ownership and licensing statements in YANG
draft-ietf-opsawg-ol-04
Abstract
This memo provides for an extension to RFC 8520 that allows MUD file
authors to specify ownership and licensing of MUD files themselves.
This memo updates RFC 8520. However, it can also be used for
purposes outside of MUD, and the grouping is structured as such.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-
Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
This Internet-Draft will expire on 25 April 2024.

1. Introduction
[RFC8520] Manufacturer Usage Descriptions (MUD) can be used to
describe devices and their requirements to the network
infrastructure. The original version of the specification does not
provide for a means to specify ownership and licensing of the MUD
file itself. This can hinder those wishing to use, modify, or adapt
MUD files for the purpose of offering them, when the manufacturer is
not involved.
* *Issue*: Should this be an owner or an originator?
To avoid any confusion, we define an extension that allows for
specifying of owners and licensing terms for MUD files.
Those generating MUD files SHOULD use this extension, and thus this
extension updates RFC 8520.
There are two ways to specify a license: a URL pointing to the
license itself or an SPDX tag [SPDX]. If an SPDX tag is supplied
consumers MUST interpret that tag through its meaning as specified by
[SPDX].
* *Issue*: Should we simply say that a URI contains a colon and SPDX
license identifier doesn't?
This grouping may be used for other YANG models that reside as static
objects.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.

2. The owner-license extension and model
Because the model is primarily motivated by MUD, and based on the way
that YANG trees are formed, the model appears as an augmentation for
MUD.
module: ietf-ol
augment /mud:mud:
+--rw ol
+--rw owners* string
+--rw (license-type)?
+--:(spdx-lt)
| +--rw spdx-tag? string
+--:(url)
+--rw license-info? inet:uri
* *Issue*: Should different owners possibly have their own license
types? (Logical and, derived works.)
* *Issue*: Should a single owner possibly have multiple license
types? (Logical or, multi-licensing.)
3. The YANG schema for ownership and licensing
The following grouping and augmentation are proposed.

4. Extension for MUD
MUD files using this extension MUST include "ol" in the extensions
array, as specified by [RFC8520].
5. Example
In this example, the Frobmaster company is using the 0BSD SPDX tag to
indicate a relatively open license. The "ol" extension and container
are present. There is a single owner listed.

* *Task*: need Makefile for validating this against MUD. (Probably
put this into a separate file, too.)
* *Issue*: Should we give an example for usage outside yang?
6. Security Considerations
The security considerations of Section 16 of [RFC8520] with respect
to obtaining validation for information claimed in a MUD file do
apply. While the information described in this specification is not
intended to directly influence the behavior of protective
infrastructure, it may be used by an aggregator as input for deciding
the legal basis that enables providing aggregated information;
depending on the juridical environment, false information in the MUD
file may thus expose the aggregator to additional legal risk.
7. IANA Considerations
7.1. MUD Extension
The IANA is requested to add "ol" to the MUD extensions registry of
[IANA.mud] as follows:
