Maya isn't free but it is now available. And that is GREAT. Yes it would be nice if it would be free because you wouldn't have to pay for it. But it costs and it is closed source. Is that a reason for NOT creating a Linux version?
This is what some Linux people should think about a little more.
Availability is the on of the best features software can have. Linux won't be supported by those who use the great software developed by some companies: Adobe, Alias|Wavefront, NewTek and many more. When everything gets ported, costs it or not, open or close it will be a boost of Linux community. And thus Linux could replace Windows completely.
Open-source (and free price) is what operating system should be and Linux is.
