ECMA by Ecma?

Ahh, needed Wiki:

It acquired its current name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization's global reach and activities. As a consequence, the name is no longer considered an acronym and no longer uses full capitalization.

You can bet your bottom dollar Oracle will find a way if it is profitable.
