That's a massive stretch of logic to go from .net is being open-sourced, to visual studio being released for linux and mac to SQL Server being released on Linux.

Wishful thinking perhaps?

I mean, I know SQL Server was once Sybase, and that's on linux ( http://www.sybase.com/linux ) but after nearly 15? years on the windows platform, I expect that there's a lot of very windows-specific code has migrated in there :)

It not be easy but it is a logical move if Microsoft wants expansion of SQL Server database.

And lose the additional license of an instance of windows server? ;)

Imagine also the support costs of supporting all those distros of Linux!
