It's starting off on the wrong foot to assume that Ecma is a money grubby organization that is using copyright to enrich themselves (do you know that if you ask, Ecma will send you, for no charge, a printed and bound copy of any Ecma standard). Ecma's primary concerns is the integrity of its standard. It doesn't want individuals making changes and then distributing those documents , as if, they were the actual approved standards.
But of course (and I hesitate to say this, lest es-discuss become es-wannabe-lawyers-discuss) that's a matter that could be addressed both by copyright and by trademark law. It's not a sufficient reason for a copyright license, at least not given precedent of open source and CC0 or equivalent specification source.
