The problem is that CF contains a lot of third party code such as Verity, DataDirect (DB drivers), Greenpoint(chart stuff), RSA Data Security and Zion Software (JBuddy - gateway). This is just the proprietary code - not third party open source software used. I have a hard time believing that CF would go open source just because of that.
