First, a license change may be necessary from their side in case "Zend Technologies Ltd" ceases to exist. Second, never say never. The PHP and Zend licenses are just BSD licenses with a few more or less irrelevant (to the code, the project, and its future) additional sections about the use of the word "PHP" in product names and that you must under no circumstance feed an Elephpant spinach on the last Friday of the month or something like that. So a switch to "pure" BSD, for example, probably wouldn't be a big deal, even to you, would it? David
