On 2005-04-25 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.

On 2005-04-25 Orange France SA voted Yes with the following comment:
Orange's vote is based on the technical merits of this JSR and not on the licensing terms of this JSR and/or of any technologies related. 
Orange believes that competition in implementation of Java technologies or in general for any technology is best served through license models that are simple, predictable and affordable for a wide range of implementors. The licensing model presented by the Spec Lead does not convey enough information to judge the affordability of the TCK nor potential acceptability by the community in general
