There is a widely known case Oracle vs. Google on whether the syntax and 
API of Java can be copyrighted or if it falls under fair use. When the 
Clojure language specification was released the author became the copyright 
holder. I'm assuming the copyright holder is Rich Hickey.  Does anyone know 
if the copyright holder provided any license or copyright assignment that 
allowed others to legally use of the language?  If not, has the copyright 
holder considered providing such  device (MIT, Apache, GPL, etc)?

I ask because C and C++ assigned it's copyright to the ISO standards 
committee which makes the copyright free for all to use. Interested in 
Clojure's status.

Thanks,
Nick
