   One obvious option is to help to get it running nicely under WINE,   
   perhaps by providing the necessary debug traces to the developers to   
   isolate the incompatibilities. It may already be 80-90% functional,   
   so the effort to fix the rest might be less than you think.   
      
   How much does the software cost? If you can spend some modest   
   proportion of that to get you out of your dependency on a proprietary   
   vendor, wouldn’t that be worth it?
