This is getting pretty far off-topic, and IANAL, but... The Internet
Society (who holds the copyright on that RFC), Daniel Pitts, and his
Usenet provider are all based in the US. Which law do you think would
apply in this case?

(This is assuming the purely hypothetical case of a complaint or suit by
an organization whose mission is "to assure the open development,
evolution and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people
throughout the world".)

Again, IANAL, but from everything I've read, I'm pretty certain that
Fair Use does apply to a short quotation from a freely available
standard in a discussion group:

| […] the fair use of a copyrighted work […] for purposes such as
| criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple
| copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an
| infringement of copyright.

Or did "here" mean a different physical location, such as Germany or
Austria? That's a whole different ball of wax, because neither Copyright
nor Fair Use exist there. They have Urheberrecht, Zitatrecht and
Verwertungsrechte instead. Even so, short non-commercial quotations are
explicitly permitted in both countries.
