Mark would know more but I just want to echo his sentiment. For something like this to get put together it takes a while. That being said its still what 6-8 months out? So there is a lot of time for more announcements/changes (not FUD this is meant to be a positive statement).
I also take issue with the quote of "has to go open source" which implies that is the only way for these alternative engines to survive and that is simply not true. Both companies came to a conclusion that Open source is a viable business solution and are taking that step. It is an awesome step and should be encouraging, maybe some folks and blow life into Smith Project, or maybe Smith can merge with one of the big 2? This is a great annoucement, and for the first time ever there are now more open source CFML engines than closed source CFML engines. Pretty freaking sweet.
