positive loglikelihoods and negative AIC's

I noticed that JMP invariably reports positive LLs and negative AICs, for example "-2LL = -1406.88" or "AICc =  -1451.534". This does not make sense, does it? LL must be negative by definition; AIC can in principle be negative, but with low LLs and low number of parameters it usually is positive.

Am I missing something fundamental here?

 

Thanks!

Please do not delete this post. This discuss is useful to other users who might have trouble finding -2L, too.
