Any restrictions in the promise? Does it cover all of Mono or just some parts? Does it cover all of .NET or just a subset? Does it impose any restrictions on what you do with the technology, what products you can build with it?
It only covers Novell and its customers, IIRC.
Actually, it covers all implementors (the community promise does, that is).
In short it's - as long as you conform to the specs, you're ok (no limits). On the other hand "Partial implementations are not covered.", so in practice anything could be argued here ;)
Does it covers supersets of the spec? I understand not all of the .NET platform is part of a formal standard.
