On 2003-06-27 Nokia Corporation voted Yes with the following comment:
Although Nokia's vote is based on the technical merits of  this JSR and not on the licensing terms, Nokia still wants to  express its support for license models that foster an open environment for and wide acceptance and adoption of Java specifications. 
Nokia believes that competition in implementation of Java  technologies is best served through license models that are  simple, predictable and affordable for a wide range of implementors.

Nokia therefore welcomes the express commitment of the Spec Lead to further improve the licensing model for JSR-195 as such improvements are deemed necessary for the sustainable success of this JSR.

On 2003-06-30 Motorola voted Yes with the following comment:
Motorola is voting yes, but continues to voice our concern that Sun work with the industry to develop a fair licensing model that encourages wide acceptance and implementation of Java standards. Similar to Nokia, Siemens, and IBM, Motorola believes this is best achieved through license models that are simple, predictable, affordable and represent cost recovery for the TCK development only.
