You need to be clear with your institution or company that your paper does not content any sensitive information. That means it needs to get scrutinized by IP lawyers and domain experts until they approved it. Common licenses should be available like:
- Publisher's private license

There is no strict paper format and languages used except complying to your publisher. The reason being closely related with their publication infrastructure, those robots parsing your paper.
