Based on valued feedback from the community, we have changed our licensing plans for shared server hosting with ColdFusion Server 5. Here's what you need to know: 1. We do not plan to offer a Hosting Service Provider Edition of ColdFusion Server 5 at this time 2. We plan to license the Professional and Enterprise editions of ColdFusion Server 5 in a way that allows you to provide shared server hosting services

It may be redundant, but I haven't seen it posted here. Good news for CF developers, and thus for Fusebox developers.
