Although I would not use the same tone, I completely understand why
some people feel this way. Since the Zend engine is not "pure"
open-source, IMHO Zend Ltd. have a bigger obligation to the PHP
community to document all of the API than if Zend carried, say, a BSD
license (because then it'd be more natural for the community to chip in).
