Hey,
If this is frowned upon, or you dont like people doing it then thats fine, I wont, but im just a little confused. I know that any contributions I make to ZF are still my own property to do what I like with, but I just have one little question. If I wanted to distribute a component that I had written, and had been accepted into ZF; as a standalone (not requiring ZF) script/class/library, on say, my own website, what's the best way to do this? I mean, I guess I should remove all the "Copyright Zend..." text (only from the separate copy obviously), but should I rename the files and classes from Zend_... to something else as well? Renaming it to something else would make it difficult for people who then switched to full ZF, but leaving it as Zend_ is kinda misleading, as it wont be part of ZF. What do other people do? Also, what happens if someone else submits a patch to my component (through ZF), could I then include that in my separate version?

The only reason I ask is that if my Zend_Color component (http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Color+-+Jack+Sleight) were to be accepted, I would probably quite like to offer it as a standalone script (as its only dependency is Zend_Exception, which is easy to get around) on my own website, for people that don't need the entire ZF, but I'm not sure on the best way to go about it.

Probably a stupid question with a simple answer, but I like to hear anyone else's opinion, thanks,
