On 2002-10-29 Research In Motion, LTD (RIM) voted Yes with the following comment:
RIM's vote is for the MIDP 2.0 spec proper and should not be construed as a vote for the Security RP which is *not* part of the MIDP 2.0 spec (RIM did not support promoting the Security RP into the main document given the short amount of time it was developed in and the lack of scrutiny from the JCP community).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2002-10-29 Sun Microsystems, Inc. voted Yes with the following comment:
During review of the voting materials Sun noticed a non-substantive, editorial error in the introductory section of the specification and javadoc and has communicated this to the specification lead.

On 2002-10-28 Nokia Corporation voted Yes with the following comment:
As a clarification, this Yes-vote is with regard to the actual MIDP 2.0 Specification itself, not a final Yes- to the contents of the RP-document. Even if we support the RP framework in general, there are some details in the defined security policy which we reserve the right to discuss further for example in JSR-185.

On 2002-11-04 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.
