Maybe “first sold” as the CGI spec in C came out in 1993 [0].

But this seems more of a marketing spin as PHP was out earlier and was the first, I know of, to have that easy “scripts in a folder that are interpreted by the http server” thing going where there was no compile process needed.

My memory of the time was that CF was one of the many commercial web software companies that were selling to companies.
