In section 4.1 are MIB files inside RFCs defined as "code

And in 4.2, BSD is applied to these code components, i.e. MIB files in
the RFC texts as BSD licensed. Therefore we may distribute these code
components, i.e. MIB files, as separate files and even modify them if we
want (and we do, because there are typos in the MIB files).
IMHO while the RFC document is non-free (cannot be modified), the MIB
files inside are free (and can be modified and distributed separately).
I concur. I researched this and came to the same conclusion. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901504#c6
As long as a copy of the corresponding BSD license is present, this is
not a legal concern. I'm making net-snmp and libsmi updates now.
