Hi Andy,
(Which is based on BSD, so a Linux port would be easy, if they chose to do it)
Porting closed source code to Linux is very difficult to do. Windows and Mac have consistent libraries. I can take a binary that was written for Win2K and run it on Win10. Conversely I can build a program in Win10 that will run on Win2K (within certain limits). Linux keeps changing and binary compatibility is lousy. If I build an application on a current version of Linux it won't run on a distro that is even a few years older. An app built on Ubuntu probably won't work properly on Fedora. There are tricks to mitigate these issues but they all involve lots of work and don't provide a reliable solution.
