Java has NOT been OSS'ed. Please catch up!
The OpenJDK, JRE has been open sourced. Java (the language specification and the virtual machine (byte code) specification) is still exclusively the property of Sun.

Java is NOT a standard, it has NOT been accepted by any standards body, nor has it been submitted to any standard body. The Java specification has been driven (rather stalled - but that's another story) by the Java Cuommunity Process (JCP). But this was always with the proprieator Sun as the benevolent dictator at the end of the table. JCP is NOT a standards body.

C# is an Ecma standard.

I know it is confusing, but please catch up, will you? I explained this in the post you replied to.
