RE: [PHP] Self Destruct code

That doesn't make sense. I can't "see" anyone's php code now. People have to put up their code for everyone to see. I can see why the Zend group wants to make money off of this but open source like APC cache will eventually get better and better so by charging for the Zend cache you're just delaying the serious growth of php. -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Cruz [mailto:mnc@stoic.net] Sent: May 8, 2002 4:21 AM To: php-general Subject: Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code I think I understand why the Zend group drew the line where they did in choosing to charge for the encoder. While PHP has a wide range of uses, from learning to testing to development, and is applicable to every organization with online communication needs, the encoder serves a solely pecuniary purpose: Bolstering one's ability to charge for code they've developed. I don't think the decision had anything to do with a perceived need to protect the world of PHP from some sort of Pandora's Box that will destroy open source forever.
