Luck won't help, but community involvement would. Likewise, if anyone needs any software that is not available for Linux, then write to the manufacturer and request it. Then let me know, and I will write to the manufacturer as well.
I admire your zeal but I'm curious as to how many responses you get from manufacturers even acknowledging your mail. Dassault Systèmes (Solidworks) was one such company that I've written an email to (many moons ago) regarding a linux port with no response whatsoever.
I do get quite a few responses, I'd say only about 1 in 10 do not respond. In fact, the response is usually "yes, we are waiting for more interest in Linux before investing in a Linux port". That's why I insist that the time has come to be vocal. Solidworks the company has not answered me, but my local distributor has.
