On 2004-01-26 IBM voted Yes with the following comment:
The community review draft contains an unresolved issue regarding the level of CORBA support that is to be provided in J2SE 1.5. We look forward to a constructive solution to this matter.

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.

HP votes Yes on this Community Review ballot, because we don't want to perturb the Tiger schedule.  We do believe the outstanding issue of CORBA support must be satisfactorily resolved as expeditiously as possible.
