I think the Java AS and database market has become a bit commodotised. They all do more or less the same thing. I don't see why anyone would pay for JRun... JBoss does the same thing for free.
CF, on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish... The code in that uncyclopedia link posted earlier is actually not too far from the truth, as far as the stuffing around you need to do with to get most java technology working. CF makes using java technology (and in turn, software development) easy. If Adobe gave away CF for free, where would they get money from?
