Yes, this does look interesting.  However, ...

Since this does not appear to be open source (from the vendor's description), 
it would not be appropriate for Fedora/Fedora Extras.  From the vendor's 
description, it appears to be a combination of source and binary software 
from Linuxant which implements a "wrapper" and the hardware vendors binary 
driver for Windows.  This is similar to how vmware packages things and is 
certainly not open source.

Furthermore, although there is a 30 free trial listed, the other software 
product is a priced product.
