I'm afraid you're a little bit wrong. You see, C# is indeed created by M$ 
but M$ submitted it to the EMCA standards organisation and that means that 
M$ lost some control about the future of the language. This is different 
because Java is still a proprietary language completly controlled by Sun.

This is also the reason why many libre software developers are busy 
creating C# compilers. I know, this is also true for Java but Java is not 
from M$ and that makes some difference. For example: have you ever seen a 
libre software compiler for VB?

Conclusion: the C# language is freely available but not neccessarely every 
compiler. (e.g.: M$ compiler.)
