SQL Server 7.0 was a complete rewrite (you will notice that the Sybase copyright notices disappeared around then).

A rewrite, or a "rewrite"? I've seen plenty of press articles about something MS "rewrote" from the ground up, including windows itself, and they are never true.
Unless they actually started from a blank source repository then it was not a rewrite.

Don't down vote him. More often than not those are just normal refactoring with PR attempts to get rid of old license info. See IE7, it got rid of Mosaic license info yet even IE11 and early Edge contains web render code and mouse behaviors that can be traced back to Mosaic web browser, where it forked off. The same is with game engines, Valve's Source engine 2 started as a fork of ID's Quake 1 engine and it's still evident even in 2017. Or Dunia engine from Ubisoft traces back to FarCry 1 engine from Crytek. Or Call of Duty engine originates in Quake 3 engine from ID. Or in WinWord 2010 originates in WinWord2 code from 1990, with code that predates threads and uses fibers (known as coroutines nowadays in other languages).

I'm pretty skeptical that Edge ever contained any old Spyglass code. If they kept the licensing disclaimer in those early versions, I suspect it was because proving that none of the old code was there wasn't a priority for anyone.

#7I really don't see the point of having another data server running on Linux, as it is developers are spoilt for choice. I am not a fan of anything Microsoft and don't like to see it raise its head on open source products like RaspberryPi and now its attack on open source software. I want to get away from this greedy monolithic destroyer of innovation not embrace it into the open source fold

I can't tell whether this comment is satire or not.

#9Does anyone know whether Analysis Services and Integration Services are also going to be available on Linux? What about Windows Authentication mechanism - is it going to be available, if yes then how would a Linux box join AD domain?
