Sortakinda. Corel ...see also Canoma) until they make no more dough off ot it.... then maybe they'll sell it off to somebody.

I think it was Adobe that bought and buried Canoma (I've been trying to buy it for years).

Corel's orphan graveyard is freakin' HUGE

After MS destroyed WordPerfect (by a bit of "accidental" sabotage during the Windows port), Corel managed to turn the best word processor on the market into a Word clone. I haven't bought a Corel product since. Most recenly, they have mucked up PSP to the point that I'm locked onto 8.0 until neither WINE nor a version of Windows will load it.

As per Linux versions?

By way of voting: I will dump Poser for D|S the day the Linux version arrives.

My guess, by the way: For $6M, Smith Micro wanted Aquazone and got stuck with Poser. Sorry, you have to marry BOTH sisters. Poser Prop is being picketed by anti-abortion crowds. Look for Poser 8 the day Cheney helps an old lady across the street, and if you have any plans for the G2 Olivia you already paid for (as if that train warn't done gone), get yourself some brown shoe polish.
