I agree, and I'm using the wording suggested by Nathanael; "without
separate permission".

Agreed. I have changed the complete license to:
c. The Contributor grants third parties the irrevocable
right to copy, use and distribute the Contribution, with
or without modification, in any medium, without royalty,
provided that unauthorized redistributed modified works
do not contain misleading author, version, name of work,
or endorsement information. Without separate permission,
redistributed modified works must (a) not claim
endorsement of the modified work by the IETF, IESG, IANA,
IAB, ISOC, RFC Editor, or any similar organization, and
(b) remove any claims of status as an Internet Standard,
for example, by removing the RFC boilerplate. The IETF
suggests that any citation or excerpt of unmodified text
reference the RFC or other document from which the text
is derived.
Thanks,
Simon
