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.
