You might have an application that uses SQL Server-specific features, and if you have a separate database server cluster now you just have to pay for SQL Server licenses instead both it and Windows Server.

Wonder if the pricing is such that SQL Server for Linux is the exact same price as SWL Server for Windows + Windows

It'd be ridiculous to charge different amounts for a license based on the OS. Has that ever happened before?

It makes sense to charge different for different OS. Using absurd examples, it would not make sense to charge the same for a hypothetical version of SS for iOS than say another hypothetical version of SS specialized for CoreOS for instance.

I believe Apple like to buy up software and then charge more for it on non-Mac OSes.
