From Rob van der Woude's scripting website:

PowerShell is now Open Source and available for Linux - here it is on github.

I guess this is the result of the Microsoft/Ubuntu partnership since Windows now has Bash available.

The project has actually been on github for a while.  I thought I'd found out about it here a while ago, but perhaps I misremembered where I read about it.
