Ray,
#16 states:
The submitter provides the license only if his/her submission is selected as a winner of the challenge competition. As the Federal Register Notice states, “To receive an award, Solvers will not be required to transfer their exclusive intellectual property rights to the NIH or ASPR. Instead, Solvers must grant to the federal government a nonexclusive license to practice their solutions and use the materials that describe them. To participate in the Challenge, each Solver must warrant that there are no legal obstacles to providing a nonexclusive license of Solver’s rights to the federal government. This license must grant to the United States government a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced for or on behalf of the United States throughout the world any invention made by the Solvers that covers the Submission. In addition, the license must grant to the federal government and others acting on its behalf, a fully paid, nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license in any copyrightable works that the Submission comprises, including the right to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly said copyrightable works.
Even though it's a non-exclusive license, it gives the Federal Government about everything
#18 expands a bit on the "when":
As stated in the Federal Register Notice, “to receive an award… Solvers must grant to the federal government a nonexclusive license.” This means that the Solver(s) will need to provide this license in a letter to the government that actually grants the license. The Solver(s) would do this after the winners are selected and before, and as a condition of, actually receiving the cash award.
They're from the Government and they're here to help you...yah, right.
