He means to make MP!(L) open source, so that someone is going to port it over Linux.

That is not possible, because Linux lacks the needed APIs for this to be done.
If it was to be done, then a new client would have to be made, instead of adding features to an existing one.

And also, there is no official client from Microsoft for Linux, so you would have to make it for one of the third-party clients (GAIM, etc)
