MODERATORS
Sun, afaiu, was part of a large committee on js without any particular leadership. They got the committee to agree to giving it trademark by complaining/threatening that the name was too close to java. Sun got trademark 4 years after Netscape started support for js. ECMAscript was mostly the same committee without SUN ownership/trademark.
