Microsoft just announced that the PowerShell language is now licensed under the company's "Community Promisee" program. This means that anyone can now produce their own compatible implementation of PowerShell on any platform - including *nix, Mac, whatever. While folks have technically made attempts to do so in the past, they've run the risk of violating numerous Microsoft-held patents related to PowerShell's technology and techniques; with this new license, all of those patents are included, so it's safe to proceed.
