How do you consider it theft? I know I am opening up the flame gates here but I want to hear this out.
Beyond that why are some options to consider Open BlueDragon? 1) It is open source, sure that means free but it is more than that. How many times have you faced a simple bug in ColdFusion and it took months before Adobe fixed it? How many times have you seen posts about "This is how ColdFusion works under the covers...probably" There is no question on how it works with BlueDragon crack open the source and have a look. 2) Thanks to the open nature of OpenBD you can customize and extend it. Alan will be talking about this more and I have posted on it but OpenBD allows you to integrate at the Java level and extend the engine, think CFX only much more powerful. 3) Innovate and community drive - Open BlueDragon will be 95% (i have to assume not 100%) driven by the community if there are overwhelming feature requests you can expect OpenBD to take it on, and most likely before a commercial release of ColdFusion. Note I said community driven not community developed. The development is still mainly from paid engineers by New Atlanta. 4) Open BlueDragon is cool and hip and I think it might ship with muffins.
