NYCPHP Meetup

[David Mintz]

How about the non-free closed-sourcedness, or is it? I prefer something I
can download and run on my own pc if I please --  IOW I'd like to be able to
run a replica of the live CF site without paying anyone any money. The
article on wikipedia said you could "theoretically" run your CF app with an
app server like Tomcat. With something like MySQL/PHP you can way more than
"theoretically" run a copy of your production site on your own box, both
technically and legally.
