On 2004-10-25 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.

This JSR is defining a useful set of annotations,
which could potentially be used within J2SE and/or
J2EE platform components.

Sun is voting "yes" on this JSR on the understanding
that the JSR spec and TCK will be licensed such that
this JSR can be included within J2SE and J2EE.
