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?
