On 2005-05-15 IBM voted Yes with the following comment:
IBM's vote is based on the technical merits of this JSR and is not a vote on the licensing terms.  IBM supports licensing models that create an open and level playing field by allowing third parties to create independent implementations of Java Specifications and that do not allow individuals or companies to exercise unnecessary control for proprietary advantage.  We support open source as a licensing model for contributions in the JCP, and would hope others will support this direction. This comment is not necessarily directed at the current business or license terms for this JSR, however, it is a statement of IBM's preferred licensing model.

On 2005-05-16 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB voted Yes with the following comment:
We have a concern that the RMS requirements might indicate that it is not allowed to have a backup/restore feature, in the platform, that enables backup of application data (RMS). 
Our interpretation is that this is allowed and that it is the responsibility of the application to make the proper tradeoffs to not compromize any security and integrity of the information in the RMS, when the RMS might be subject to restore of and older version of the RMS.
This might need to be further clarified in JSR-248 and a future mainenance release of this JSR.
