Adobe has announced that ColdFusion is now free for educators and students. The licensing is such that it isn't free for production use, but rather for learning. I am not sure how this differs from the free developer edition that already existed, perhaps it doesn't have any IP restrictions.
Hopefully this will lead to many students getting their hands dirty and educators empowered to teach CF even more, especially now that there 3 CFML engines to choose from, Open BlueDragon, Railo and of course ColdFusion.
"Adobe ColdFusion 8 for Education is available for free to educational customers to use for learning purposes only and not for production purposes. This includes all qualified students, faculty and staff of eligible education institutions"

version gets rid of that nasty little 2 IPs only issue?
