Unfortunately, this is hardly worth the time and effort: for a number
of technical reasons it is not really practical for proprietary,
commercial, "closed source" application software vendors to create
and distribute Linux binaries.

(Come to think of it, it would be a much better move to lobby Linux
distribution publishers to make it simple and economical for vendors
of those applications to create and distribute Linux versions...)
