RE: [PHP] Re: Zend encoding and security

Encoding PHP sources makes me sick. Intelectual property can be defended with a license, PHP is a fairly simple language, sources are good to learn and see how other developers do some things, sometimes you can learn how to improve your code, sometimes you can learn how not to do something... Encoding the sources is only against learning PHP. --- Luis Argerich ( ) ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://tikiwiki.sourceforge.net X against HTML on email "There's no spoon" / \ and Usenet posts > -----Original Message----- > From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:mlemos@acm.org] > Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 10:27 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Zend encoding and security > > > Hello, > > On 05/09/2003 10:22 AM, Jason Sheets wrote: > > Please note that the Turck developer is discouraging > commericial use > > of > > the encoder until Turck 1.4 because the file format may > change at that > > point. > > Sure.
