> Will Spectra be free? who knows? but it certainly wont be > until the support time has expired is my guess. If there's money to be payed for support, Macromedia should support the upgrade process. If they don't support the upgrade, I feel making Spectra open source would be a better approach because the investment in time from the community in making it work on CF6 would be more easily put in that way.

However, sinec it's going to be completely different from the Spectra CODB, most work would go into converting whatever comes out of the CODB to a form the current codebase would understand. This *should* be doable. However, you can question if the new CODB requires an entirely new approach altogether. Ideally, you could replace some Spectra components with the new stuff. But that may be a simplistic view of things.
