On 2014-12-22 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 2014-12-10 London Java Community voted Yes with the following comment:
+1 to Goldman Sach's comments - we think this is a great addition to the platform but we'd expect to see close interop with OSGi at the application layer that sits on top of the modularised platform.

On 2014-12-17 Eclipse Foundation, Inc voted Yes with the following comment:
Like LJC and Goldman Sachs we are concerned about inter-operability with OSGi. The Eclipse Foundation relies upon OSGi for its plug-in model, as well as hosting the Equinox project, the reference implementation of the OSGi core framework. We will be participating in the expert group with the specific intent of ensuring that there is a constructive conversation about this inter-operability.

In addition, the IDE tooling requirements for Java 9 modularity will require a great deal of effort.

On 2014-12-21 Fujitsu Limited voted Yes with the following comment:
Fujitsu's vote is based on the technical merits of this JSR and is not a vote on the licensing terms.

On 2014-12-22 SouJava voted Yes with the following comment:
SouJava agrees with the comments expressed by Goldman Sachs and others. Although we understand that the Java Platform Module System is on a different level then OSGi, the interoperation and relationship between those two will require careful consideration. We trust the EG to do a diligent work on this.

On 2014-12-09 Goldman Sachs & Co. voted Yes with the following comment:
OSGi has shown the usefulness of Modularity; concerned about the possible confusion across both approaches for the community and will look for this JSR to have robust engagment with the OSGi community

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2014-12-20 Hazelcast voted Yes with the following comment:
Like the comments before, interoperability with OSGi is important and needs to be one of the main focuses. OSGi is around for quite some time and lots of systems (not only Eclipse) relies on it.
