Does Autodesk allow developers free AutoCAD products?

OceanHydroAU

I'm a paid Fusion360 customer and developer, with more than 6000 happy users of my store add-in. 

I get a lot of AutoCAD people asking for a version for them.

 

Does anyone at Autodesk read this?  (If not, does anyone here know how I could reach them?)

 

I'd like to port my code to AutoCAD (Mac and PC, and any other variants that make sense) as well as Inventor.  It's a big job (way more than 30 days to complete - my codebase is huge).

 

Is it possible to get a license to install the above products, solely for the purpose of development and customer support, without charge?
