True.

Mozilla JavaScript is an implementation of ECMAScript.  Google V8 JavaScript 
is another implementation of ECMAScript.  There are more.

Different versions of different implementations implement different Editions 
of ECMAScript in different ways.  Some of those ways are conforming to the 
Specification, others are not.

Incorrect; some more recent versions of languages whose name contains 
“JavaScript” implement it partially.
