I believe the answer is that DB/2 for z/OS is priced by MSU. DB/2 for Linux is priced by processor. It will run on a CP, but IBM may not license it there (normally). I would go back and ask them to do more research and if the answer is the same, ask them why they won't license it on your existing CPs.
