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.
Where did you find this zip file? I have only found a debian packaged
deb file.
