The definition of "Open Source License" ends with: "This list may be modified with the unanimous approval of the Working Group Steering Committee and the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors."

What we meant to say is that the unanimous approval of the steering committee is required, followed by approval of the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors. Approval of the BoD is generally accepted to mean a simple majority.

Potential re-phrasing:

This list may be modified with the unanimous approval of the Working Group Steering Committee, and by a simple majority of the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors.
