That could be noted in an example for the inbound I-D or Simon's I-D.
Something like this:

   In draft x author X reproduces code y written by Y.  Author X got the
   permission of Y to do this, and might note it in the acknowledgements
   of draft x:  "Thanks to Y for the permission to reproduce code y in
   this contribution, readers can use code y as specified in BCP 78bis."

If that's what you're talking about.
