The firms agreed to meet these terms, and to make the patents available royalty-free. However, this did not apply to the part of the .NET Framework not covered by ECMA-ISO standards, which included [[Windows Forms]], [[ADO.NET]], and [[ASP.NET]]. Patents that Microsoft holds in these areas may have deterred non-Microsoft implementations of the full framework.<ref>{{cite web|title=Microsoft's Empty Promise|url=http://www.fsf.org/news/2009-07-mscp-mono|work=[[Free Software Foundation]]|date=July 16, 2009 |first1=Brett |last1=Smith |quote=However, there are several libraries that are included with Mono, and commonly used by applications like Tomboy, that are not required by the standard.
