Mono actually has a plug-compatible Linq to SQL, AND it has its own DB drivers.
Even if you were so hopelessly dependent on Linq to SQL that you couldn't trivially port to Microsoft's newer persistence solution, you're still not up a creek.
Aside from the fact that the original post is a huge troll, there are plenty of open source Linq extensions (which is what Linq to SQL is.) Take a look at the codeplex.

That's what happens when you buy into a proprietary technology. The proprietors can change it as they wish.
At least in open source you can fork the project.
