I Agree with that,
Take the same atitude as mysql.
AFAIK, zend encoder is not only for hidding code, but (they say) it
optimizes php processing, if that is true, it is a good and enough reason to
release it for free for users that do open source projects.
you can still publish the original source code, and also, if you like,
compile php for production environments where the load could be high.
if the optimization thing is bogus, then i say stay whith you nice
compiler, congratulations, but you guys have a principle of a compiler within
the php code distribution, so it's not difficult to see the php source, take
the zend engine main things and make a compiler because all the parsing is done
there and execution (zend_compile.c and zend_execute.c).
i'm not a real good c programmer, soh making this alon would take a
while, but one of my goals was make a free php compiler (IF zend wouldn't
release it for non comercial use).
any help would be apreciated of course.
my best wishes.
