No they won't. Linux users don't seem to have any problems at all
compiling and running BSD-licensed code on their systems: BIND, Sendmail,
DHCP, etc. If Microsoft releases under anything remotely like an open
license, it'll be ported to Linux in a matter of days. Just because they
can, if for no other reason. Then some group of Linux hackers will pick
it up, move chunks of it into a Linux kernel module, and prove that Linux
can run the C# equivalent of "while (1) gethostname();" faster than FreeBSD
or Win2K/XP.
