There aren't that many languages that aren't "proprietary" in some way or another at their beginnings. C, Java, JavaScript, Rust, Go, Swift, Python, Perl, Ruby, Clojure, TypeScript... on and on.
Haskell is one of the few modern languages I know of where a language was birthed in committee. ALGOL and COBOL are some older examples.
