Interesting, but a few problems.
I can't comment on the zLinux issues as that is not my area.
IBM does not increase software prices for releases. There is no
difference between the price of z/OS 1.3 and z/OS 1.4 and there is no
additional required hardware. Further z/OS V2 (if there is to be a z/OS
Version 2) has not been announced. Also z/OS V1 was priced the same as
OS/390 (it's predecessor) on some pricing plans and is less expensive
than OS/390 on other pricing plans.
