On 2008-01-14 IBM voted Yes with the following comment:
IBM is working closely with the EG on some open issues. We have every confidence that these will be satisfactorily closed in a timely manner.

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.

Apache votes yes, and thanks the spec lead for affirming that there will be no field of use restrictions associated with this TCK license.

On 2008-01-14 Hewlett-Packard voted Yes with no comment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2008-01-14 Sun Microsystems, Inc. voted Yes with the following comment:
Sun is voting yes based on the technical aspects of the specification. 

We'd like prior to the FAB more details on the licenses for the RI and TCK, which we understood from the original spec lead would be open source, and is noted in the JSR itself.
