On 2007-07-06 Dautelle, Jean-Marie voted No with the following comment:
It has been brought to my attention that the license terms are still not compliant (despite the latest changes). Specifically, there is no explicit right to create an independent implementation and right to redistribute the RI. In order to see a new ballot with compliant license, I have no choice but to vote No.

On 2007-07-07 Nokia Corporation voted No with the following comment:
The Specification License provided (both the original and the updated version) does not fulfil the requirements of the JSPA.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2007-07-09 Sun Microsystems, Inc. voted No with the following comment:
Licensing terms were initially unclear. The current licensing terms as clarification in the email sent by the speclead to the EC, seem to be not compliant with the JSPA.

The licensing terms need to be unambiguously compatible with the JSPA.

Siemens voted NO because the provided update of the license could not be checked for JSPA compatibility on this short notice. The spec lead should should clarify the open issues raised by the EC for the reconsideration ballot.

On 2007-07-09 Research In Motion, LTD (RIM) voted No with the following comment:
RIM votes NO because of license issues raised by IBM and others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2007-07-09 Intel Corp. voted No with the following comment:
The Specification License proposed by the Spec Lead seems unclear, and the RI that the Spec Lead has provided does not appear to meet the minimum requirements of the JSPA.  The Spec Lead needs to assure the community that the licensing regime for JSR 190 will meet the spirit and the letter of the JSPA.  Our preference for accomplishing this would be for the Spec Lead to provide the texts of Specification and RI licenses that they commit to offer to any interested party and that meet the requirements of the JSPA.

On 2007-07-09 IBM voted No with the following comment:
IBM supports the technical effort in this JSR, but votes NO because the licenses submitted are inconsistent with the terms of the Java Specification Participation Agreement (JSPA).  We look forward to a reconsideration ballot for this JSR with updated, and compliant, licenses.
