To augment your choice of free ColdFusion components, look no further than cfopen.org. It describes itself as a "a collaborative software development environment designed to facilitate the development of open source software for ColdFusion." Here you will find not just components, but even full-fledged frameworks (not unlike FuseBox) that can provide the foundation for an entire site. More and more of these ColdFusion projects are supporting freely available databases as well, e.g. MySQL. Besides downloading existing software, you can establish your own project, or apply to join an existing one, for instance if you want to contribute some customizations you've made. And don't forget to google "ColdFusion Open Source" while you're at it. This will return results ranging from custom tags all the way to content management systems.
