The Java Community Process(SM) Program - JSRs: Java Specification Requests

Use of JCP site is subject to the JCP Terms of Use and the Oracle Privacy Policy

JSR #358
A major revision of the Java Community Process
JSR Renewal Ballot
Ballot duration: 2015-11-10 to: 2015-11-23

Special Vote Instructions:

As the EC knows - since it is also the EG for this JSR - the subject-matter of this JSR (licensing, compatibility, intellectual-property...) is extremely complex and requires a great deal of discussion and negotiation between the lawyers and business representatives of the various EC companies and organizations.

Up until a few months ago we had made reasonable progress, and we created a document outlining our proposed changes to the JCP's IP flow which we submitted to Oracle Legal for review. Unfortunately they have been very slow to respond, saying that they needed to consult with a large number of Oracle lawyers. They have told us that they expect to be able to respond soon, and we are therefore hopeful that we will then be able to resume our regular meetings and discussions.

We continue to believe in the importance of this JSR, and are hopeful that we will be able to bring it to a successful conclusion.

These are the final results of the JSR Renewal Ballot for JSR #358. The EC has approved this ballot.

On 2015-11-18 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.

I have not had a chance to present the near final material (e.g. approved by Oracle Legal) with SAP business and legal teams. I therefore do not feel comfortable to vote positively or negatively. Hence the abstention.
