As per above I Quote:
"though IBM and Motorola still voted no. There also appear to be some disagreements within the JCP board about the licensing of these specs. Sun apparently plans to charge a "Per unit royalty fee which will be dependent on volume."
Doug Lea voted with comment.
Apache vote with Sun with YES, without comment this says.
I am wondering why? Other voted YES with comment.
I personally wish they voted NO as they did in past on similar topic. I mean look at the implications, such as JBOSS is not J2EE (no big fan of EJB here), this makes it harder to have a Jakarta project that is JCP.
Is anyone privy to ASF feeling on this topic related to open source in general and Java? I know there was some agreement btwn Sun and ASF.
JCP *is* Sun domintated, but not ASF, AFAIK
IBM seems more friendly to O.S, they said OK, but had a comment.

ps: This is a possibility as well down the road: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20030213.html
That is why my clients don't use Sun VM in favor of BEA J:Rockit, and IBM VM. Java would live past Sun, should the worst happen.
