Re: Re: Zend encoding and security

That's what free software is all about. Any decent free software license should allow them to market it with NO changes, minor or otherwise. Manuel Lemos wrote:

So you say that to make money you need "closed sources" ? That's not true at all.

I did not say that. What I said is that if you do not protect your source you allow other people to take advantage of your work and eventually compete with you in a market that you invested work in, despite it was all made from your efforts. Another point is that if you give you source code away of something that you sell with source, you allows other to transform your code enough that you are not able to prove that it was based in your work. This way, you effectively allow others to pirate your code without being able to legally prove it and defend yourself.
