Isn't C99, like FORTRAN-77, an ISO standard?
Yes, it's an ISO standard.
However, as such, it's less "open" as a standard than J.
Perhaps "proprietary" is too strong a word for standards which
are published openly but which are closed to derivatives. But
I do not see that the C language, as a standard, is more open
than the J language.
