AFAIK, CLAW does not meet the The Debian Free Software Guidelines 
(http://www.debian.org/social_contract): specifically the one about 
"Derived Works". I think you cannot port it to GNU/Linux without 
permission. It is not free software (in the GNU sense), but commercial 
software that can be used freely for personal (non-commercial) projects. 
Not all libraries that comes with source code can make its way into 
Debian. At least to the core distribution, but they have a semiofficial 
non-free section for these cases.
