I really doubt it - time and time again the courts have sided that you can't copyright a language. As long as other CFML engines don't steal code from CF (and considering how different the run-time engines are for them I doubt this will happen) then I think they should be safe. If Adobe really wanted to kill them they might create nuisance suits they know they can't win just to drain resources, but I doubt that will happen.
