if i changed the Zend scanner to be able to read obscured
(read encoded so that "joe internet" won't be able to reverse
engineer that) i would have to publish my patch under the
QPL, right? - that would make it even less "secure".
this is nothing i wanna do - but it's a valid argument for
having as much of PHP under the PHP-License as possible IMHO.
