Maybe it helps, if you have a OPC server source code to see what is needed
on COM/DCOM functions. You can find a free (LGPL) OPC server on the
following link:

We are a small software company, and I know that some customers of us are
interested in OPC on Linux in the past. There is one working solution as far
as I know. It is a OPC Toolkit from Technotrend which is based on the
COM/DCOM implementation EntireX of Software AG. But its not Open Source
unfortunally.

Some links about this:

http://www.tsopc.com/modules/solutions/products.html

I don't know the license cost of this products at the moment, because our
customers decided not to use Linux.
