The MicroProfile Steering Committee needs to select its patent license. The ballot language requires verbiage that Steering Committee can vote on (+1,-1,0), and the two patent license verbiage options are outlined below. Here is a recent post by Mike Milinkovich on the patent license topic, and David wrote up an example. Neither claim to be lawyers :-)  The intellectual property policy is here (pdf).

While anyone can select their preferred patent license ballot option, only steering committee member selection will be counted towards the selected ballot language.  Once consensus is reached, the Steering Committee will conduct a ballot on the preferred option.

Please select the desired patent license:

Implementation Patent License
RESOLVED, the MicroProfile Steering Committee approves the use of the
Implementation Patent License as defined in the Eclipse Foundation Intellectual
Property Policy for all specifications under the purview of this Working Group.

or

Compatible Patent License
RESOLVED, the MicroProfile Steering Committee approves the use of the
Compatible Patent License as defined in the Eclipse Foundation Intellectual
Property Policy for all specifications under the purview of this Working Group.
