The two concepts aren't exactly connected. True, SplendidCRM is
open source -- but it could have been developed using Microsoft tools,
and probably was, if
http://www.splendidcrm.com/Home/Demos/tabid/102/Default.aspx
is any indication; near the bottom they suggest
"Copy deployment refers to a .NET application that is
built on one platform, such as Windows, and copied to
another platform, such as Linux."
which is pretty clear which one came first, if one makes
the obvious substitution of "application" = "SplendidCRM".
I can't prove it, of course. But that's the promise of .NET
(not unlike the promise of Java bytecode, before it, though).
Of course, SplendidCRM could also be built or rebuilt using
Mono, if everything's in the right place. (Since they
suggest the module can run under Mono, they've probably did
a little work eliminating Windows-specific CLR elements.)

Linux. The choice of a GNU generation.
Windows. The choice of a bunch of people who like very weird behavior on
a regular basis, random crashes, and "extend, embrace, and extinguish".
