"Today, the head of the Free Software Foundation, Richard M. Stallman, told iTWire: "The preliminary report is that Microsoft's 'Community Promise' is quite inadequate.

""Also, there are C# standard libraries which are outside the ECMA standard and thus not covered by this statement at all."

"The community promise extends to two sets of specifications, 334 and 335, submitted to ECMA, a standards body."
