Here's something that pops out of my head upon reading your post. Years ago where's ColdFusion Express (free)... naturally functionally not in par with commercial version... But I thought if one (independent developers / cf shops etc.) uses such a free platform and negotiate a price for additional tag/features (say, like today's CFPDF, CFIMAGE etc.) with CF company like Adobe, then, it really creates win-win situation for all. Adobe can sell heavy-duty CF package to the big spenders as it does now while it does not alietnate the 'little guys' (an integral part of the CF development community) and provides considerable value to them. This approach/model would seem to generate more revenue for CF company/companies but no I haven't run some detailed number crunch... Thanks.
