Just based on cf response I'm guessing lawyers were threatened along with looking for another cdn.

Are there any open source options? Just based on scale I can't think of any

    the problem with open source here is that open source isn’t really a solution… the software is kinda irrelevant: it’s the CDN itself - the hardware and networks - that’s the only important thing… that’s not something you can really open source. that’s just something you have to pay someone for
