Internet-Draft 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.

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. To avoid any confusion, we define an extension that allows for specifying of owners and licensing terms for MUD files. Those generating 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 . If an SPDX tag is supplied consumers MUST interpret that tag through its meaning as specified by . 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 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

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.

The following grouping and augmentation are proposed.

MUD files using this extension MUST include “ol” in the extensions array, as specified by .

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.

No security considerations have been identified.

The IANA is requested to add “ol” to the MUD extensions registry as follows:

This memo specifies a component-based architecture for Manufacturer Usage Descriptions (MUDs). The goal of MUD is to provide a means for end devices to signal to the network what sort of access and network functionality they require to properly function. The initial focus is on access control. Later work can delve into other aspects.This memo specifies two YANG modules, IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP options, a Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) TLV, a URL, an X.509 certificate extension, and a means to sign and verify the descriptions. In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings. The Linux Foundation
