Its been donated, but there hasn't been a formal SOA methodology effort at OASIS (or anywhere) yet so its freely available for anyone to use. Unfortunately everyone else appears to be keeping their cards closer to their chests in the (IMO mistaken) belief that something proprietary is better than something open.
