The implementation of Clojure on the JVM, and of ClojureScript, were both initially written by Rich Hickey, and he released their implementations under the Eclipse Public License version 1.0. It says so in the first couple of sentences of the readme here: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/
For ClojureScript, it says so in the last few sentences of the ClojureScript README here: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript All contributions by others since then have been under a contributor's agreement that assigns joint copyright of those contributions to Rich Hickey, and the author, and all later versions have been released under the same EPL v1.0 license. You can see the contributor agreement here: https://clojure.org/dev/contributor_agreement That covers the implementation of Clojure and ClojureScript. You mention a "Clojure language specification". There is no separate specification of the Clojure language, other than its implementation and documentation published on clojure.org.
