Depends what one means by "real operating" systems. But yes it will run under linux using mono, I believe people have tried it on OS X too and it didn't work but this was due to a fault in Mono's implemenation of tail call. A bug report has been filed with the mono team so a fix should be forth coming.

The source of the implementation is available, but the license is not, for the moment, open source.

Cheers,
Rob

Does F# run on real operating systems? Does it have a full open
source stack?

(Genuine questions - you seem to be saying a lot of good things about
F#).
