Good question. Putting a commercial version of AutoCAD on my otherwise completely open source machine just kinda grates my sensibilities though. If they do, I bet it's designed to be run on high-end machines like Sun Solaris boxes, or HP machines, or SGI. They probably wouldn't want to get their fingers dirty making a commercial piece of software available to be run on an open source operating system.
