Hopefully Microsoft will also provide a proper multi platform node.js client as well as ODBC support. I may aware of tedious, but it's missing a lot of features and I prefer officially supported code.

Hi mmargerum - We have a Microsoft engineer contributing to the tedious project now. Let us know what you want to see in our new gitter room: https://gitter.im/mssqldev/Lobby

Good to know! thanks

Is there a ELIF type link for licensing that explains what we are allowed to do with this on Linux? Can I use it for development work on a company owned workstation?

I'd imagine you can just use a free (as in beer) developer license for SQL Server work on Linux, just as you can on Windows. SQL Server licensing is only really charged on production instances.
