It doesn't make it free, but it does make it open source.
Actually, the generally accepted definition of "open source" involves free and re-distributable. http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd that page pretty much summarizes the way *I* use the term "Open Source" CFFM is open source. You can download it, change it, rename it, redistribute it, package it in your own applications, and even SELL it. You can modify CFFM, call it RabidCFFM, and charge money for it. Not allow licenses allow that, but such a derivative version would no longer be "open source" because presumably you'd add your own license restrictions preventing redistribution of the derived work.
