`` He noted that Microsoft submitted its C# and Common Language Runtime software to ECM, and both are used by the open-source project Mono. But Mono "is eyed warily by Microsoft," he said.''

It should be OK. MS is the 's/w giant' and they can definitely have the resources to compete on the merits (funcitonality, performance, stability, cost) of their products. Right?

But then MS can use the 'standards-compliant" label to claim that it ... complies with (its own!) standards.

The list of ECMA partners is deplorable....
