Never say never! I actually created an RPM from their linux zip file that
I used on
my F22 box and now CentOS 7. It's not eligible for fedora because
much of it is prebuilt and I can't submit it to RPM Fusion non-free because
there's no clear licensing, but it does work although it is missing a few
features over the windows version.
I even emailed them about the licensing but they seem to have gotten
confused since
you can use it for "free". I gave up after that.
You can use their zip file directly, I just packaged it because I package
everything I install and to tweak some install locations to be more FHS
compliant.
Thanks,
Richard
