On 2008-08-04 Intel Corp. voted Yes with the following comment:
This is a general comment we make in each ballot.  By the agreement that forms the JCP, other than reciprocity rules for licensing and 3 specific compatibility conditions (including passing the TCK compatibility test suite) "the Spec Lead agrees not to impose any contractual condition or covenant that would limit or restrict the right of any licensee to create or distribute such Independent Implementations."  It is our view that prohibiting use of compatible implementations in particular products is inconsistent with this promise not to limit implementations. When TCK Licenses are confidential and not viewable by the EC, we ask the Spec Lead whether the compatibility test license restricts how implementations may be used as a condition of being able to test for compatibility.  

For this JSR, the Spec Lead states "The Reference Implementation and TCK will be made freely available in both binary and source form on a no charge basis under an OSI approved licence", so the concern above doesn't apply.
